Pastor Tony Ogden passed away this morning at 6am. There will be a viewing and funeral at TBC, then a funeral in Chicopee, Mass. (his home church). The burial will be there in a vets cemetery in Agawam. I will send more information as I receive it.
1 Thessalonians 4
13Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 14We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18Therefore encourage each other with these words.

Pastor Tony
Dear Prayer Partners...I know it's been awhile since I last wrote...busy, busy, busy! Great news! CAT scan n May 27 showed the tumor has shrunk 50% with 8 more chemo treatments ahead. Pastor Tony is feeling good, but tires easily. He is very positive and continues to faithfully serve his Savior wherever this trial takes him! Thanks for continuing to pray! GOD IS GOOD AND VERY FAITHFUL!Looking Up!Trudy

Pastor Tony
Dear Faithful Friends...It's been awhile since I wrote, and that's because our God is so good! Pastor is doing well after his second chemo. He has to pace himself each day as his strength is not completely back, but is able to be in his office and preach and do what he loves to do! He has lost his hair, and much weight, but generally is feeling good. A couple prayer requests for him at this point: The third round of chemo is next Tuesday. Pray that is continues to do its thing and rid him of the cancer. He and Debbie will be going home to Massachusetts this weekend to see family and friends. They have witnessed to many family members for years, and they are pretty upset about this trial Pastor is going through. Pray the Holy Spirit will soften their hearts and be receptive to the Gospel, as this is a great burden for him. Also for protection from any "bugs" out there as he visits with his home church family. He needs to be protected from infection, and God is able! We are looking forward to a great testimony of God's working when they return! Thanks you once again for your faithful prayers! God is in control, and we are trusting Him for our miracle!Blessings...Trudy

Dear Friends...Today, Pastor Tony had his second round (3 hours worth)
of chemotherapy. It is not the same as the first in that it is not
hooked to a "drip" for 5 days. And it is not as strong, as he was
physically rocked by the first round. Continue to pray that it does
its
thing and heals him! His spirits are wonderful! He is such an
encouragement to our congregation, and everyone he meets. He preached
an incredible sermon on Sunday! He answered the question, "How do you
handle it when you are told you have cancer (or fibromyalgia, or
marriage troubles, or financial difficulties, or the death of a loved
one...or anything else)"? His answer...TRUST GOD! He knew your life
before the foundations of the world, and NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT.
Nothing can change the solid grip He has on you if you know Him as your
Savior! He encouraged us that when the storms of life come....don't be
like a turkey who runs to hide in the barn, but be like the eagle and
leave the secure nest to soar on the winds where you have never soared
before! WOW!!! What an answer! Praise God for His faithfulness..and
please keep praying!
Blessings....Trudy

Dear Praying Friends.....Each time I send one of these out, there are
more names on it! Praise God for all of you who are concerned and are
praying for our miracle! God is faithful, and continues to provide for
our church and our shepherd. This past week, he said he turned a
corner
on Wed. and started to feel human again. He is thin, and weak, but in
no pain. He was able to be there on Sunday and worship with the
"family", and that was a blessing to all of us! Praise Him again! He
is planning to preach this Sunday, then Monday (Jan. 21) he starts the
second round of chemo. Some specific requests: that he would be
shielded from any infections out there...that his red blood cells would
grow and be strong before chemo starts again...that his taste and
appetite would return so he can eat and be strengthened...that the
chemo
would do its "thing" and HEAL HIM!!!!
His testimony is strong and powerful in that he said he would not trade
this path God has put him on for anything. He has learned much, and
grown closer to God that he would ever have imagined. We, his
congregation, take strength from his words. We are encouraged to walk
where God has led each of us, to be salt and light in our circles of
influence, and feast on the Word every day to increase our faith and
strength.
