Members and Friends of Historic First Lutheran:
For the third time in two weeks, I report the death of a dear, long-time member of Historic First Lutheran.
I received a telephone call last evening informing me that Gwen Hancock died. Gwen was 81 years old. She had been a member of Historic First Lutheran since 1961. Gwen was among the earliest African American members of Historic First Lutheran, having been a Lutheran in Fort Wayne, IN.
Funeral plans are pending at this time. Please check back for further details.
Please keep Gwen's family, especially her son Philip and sister-in-law Vera, in your prayers!
Pastor Christopher Schaar
