Marshall St. John Has Entered the Courts of the King

Marshall St. John, pastor of Wayside Presbyterian Church, loving father and husband and my friend, passed into the arms of his savior after a short battle with malignant melanoma of the lungs. His spirit was borne by angels to the throne of the father and his body will wait for the resurrection of the dead. Marshall was known for his Christ-like kindness, love for others, and his deep humility. He will be greatly missed.

The visitation will be on Monday night and the Memorial Service will be a 2 pm at Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church. The service will NOT be at Wayside because of space limitations. Please pray for his congregation, his wife, Grace, and his adult children, Becky and David.

Continued Prayer Needed for Marshall St. John

Our dear brother, Marshall St. John, the pastor of Wayside Presbyterian in Signal Mountain, Tennessee, continues to struggle with cancer. His weakness has been increasing and currently his white blood cell count is dropping as he is struggling with infection. Please pray for his healing, his faith, and his family (especially his wife, Grace). He desires from his heart to see God, but he grieves over the possibility of leaving his family and work. Marshall has a firm confidence in the finished work of Christ at the Cross. He trusts Jesus with all his heart. 2 Corinthians 5:21 "God made him [Jesus] who knew no sin, to become sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him."

Thank you for praying.
