Death of a Saint - Lawrence (Lawrie) Czepanski
Kia ora koutou dear friends.
Kia noho a Ihowa ki a koutou; the Lord be with you.
I received word yesterday evening that Lawrence Czepanski passed from this earthly life to the new life of resurrection glory at around 6:08pm (Monday 4th Febrary).
Lawrie - a saint and friend of God through baptism - lived most of his life (except for the last couple of years) in Marton and was actively involved in worship and ministry at St Martins Lutheran Church.
Please pray that the Lord who befriended and saved Lawrie from sin, death, and the devil, will now protect and care for Lawrie's family, especially his children - Diane, Karen, Wendy and Paul - during their time of sadness and loss.
At this stage it is likely that the funeral will be held at St Martins Marton on Friday afternoon.
Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3).
