Local Tragedy

My prayers and thoughts go out the local Bell Shoals Baptist community.  I personally know many people from the Bell Shoals community, as do Will and Maggie

For those who don't know the senior pastor, Forrest Pollock, of Bell Shoals Baptist Church was flying his private plane from North Carolina to Texas when the plane went missing.  Throughout the night search crews in North Carolina looked for the pastor and his 13 yr old son who was on board. Back here in Brandon at the church the community held a all night prayer vigil.  As of 11am the plane wreckage was found with no survivors. 

Please pray for all those affected by this tragedy, especially the church family and the pastors family.  He leaves behind a wife and 5 other children.

Bell Shoals is a very large local church that does many community programs and recently opened a huge new addition.

Tampa Bay Online report of it here

The best bet for the latest information is the church website or Post Optionshref="http://www.floridabaptistwitness.com/8819.article" target="_new">the Florida Baptist Witness
