The Member of the Ohio/South/Ohio Laymen’s Organization want you to know that we are praying with you. Psalms 30:5 King James Version (KJV)
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. We are with you just let us know if there is anything we can do.
You are in my prayers; Psalm 34:18. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 147:3. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
My condolences to Rev. Williams and the family.
Brother Steve was a wonderful man with a loving and humerus spirit that we will all miss seeing at church. Rest in peace. We’ll never forget you.
Love Ann Marie.
Remembering a great friend that was a big part of my childhood, from collecting Marvel comics, building and racing homemade go carts, to riding in your heavy Chevy with the Jenson mind blowing sound system; you where the big brother l always wanted, and you fulfilled that role. Rest in power my friend. Lownkat number 1
Our deepest condolences to Rev. Lesia Williams and family. We are praying for you. Psalm 23 – The Lord is our Shepherd and we have what we need. He lets us lie down in green pastures, He leads us beside quiet waters. He renews our life; He leads us along the right paths for His name sake. Even when we go through the darkest valley, we fear no danger; for He is with us , His rod and staff they comfort us. He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies; He anoints our head with oil; our cup overflows. Only goodness and faithful love will pursue us all the days of our life, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as we live.
On behalf of the Ohio South Ohio Women in Ministry we will continue to keep you in our prayers. May comfort and keep as go through this difficult time.

Sending prayers of peace & healing to the Williams family. God bless you all during this season of loss.
