THis is not a comment, it's more of a notice to the memebers. I am sad to bring news that Lea Astwwod Jr (BKA J. R.) of the Grand Turk Methodist Church, Died in a Car Accident. Brandon Harris of the Providenciales Church also died. Four of our Young Memebers were in the Car, the other Two (John Green "Daquan" & Robert) are in Critical Condition & were sent to Florida. Please pray for Them & the Astwood & Harris Families.
