Hillie Cass, an active member of Peoples Church since childhood went to be with the Lord on October 2, 2007. A funeral service was performed by Pastors Jamie & Gwyneth at Peoples to celebrate her life, grieve her loss, and remember that the resurrection reality Hillie now experiences is our own hope as those in Christ.
It is hard to imagine Peoples without Hillie who has been so involved in every aspect of the church, particularly as an examplar of faith, love and welcoming. Yet, as her son Malcolm pointed out in his witness at her funeral, her example lives on in all the lives she touched. He talked about a future for our church that becomes fully revived even as people step up to fill the rolls of caring for the altar, promoting our music, driving people to shopping or appointments, keeping folk in touch through neighborhood ministries, providing prophetic voices and many other rolls that could not possibly be fully listed. Her witness continues as we join new discipleship classes, welcome new visitors, and share with others the faith that many in our church received through Hillie.
Thanks to all who surrounded the family with love and care, and especially to Brad Morrison and the UMW for hosting a beautiful reception in Ellis Hall. We miss you Hillie.
