Neil Bonney - Age 84 Died on Monday 3/1/10

Hi everyone, I just wanted to pass along to the River family that my dad Neil Bonney died on Monday at the Hospice Care Center in Fitchburg.  He had only been diagnosed with cancer three weeks earlier so he went very quickly and did not suffer long… God is merciful & gracious.

His funeral will be on Saturday, 3/6/10 at the Cress Funeral Home, 3610 Speedway Road in Madison.  Visitation is from 9:30 AM until the service which starts at 11:00 AM.  Lunch will be served at the funeral home after the service.

Rita and my heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has been praying for us and for my dad through his illness. 

We love you all… Thanks, Doug

Sponsor the Devotionals

Help to Keep the Devotionals Free

I know many of you enjoy the Word for You Today daily devotional from River of Life Church. We've heard many stories of you giving them to strangers, family, and friends. As times are tight financially, we could use your help to keep the devotionals free so you can continue to give them to your family and friends.

Would you consider partnering with River of Life Church to sponsor the devotionals? We could use your help. If you are able to, above your regular church giving, we are asking families to sponsor $10-$20 per month. To do this, give separately from your regular giving this Sunday, and mark it “Devotionals”. If you are unable to help out at this time, please continue to enjoy the free devotional and partner with us in prayer.

Thanks!
