David Piatt Memorial Service

This is one of those weeks where I am reminded of the incredible privelege of being a pastor and of the deep brokenness of the world in which we live. I got a call on Monday evening from John and Sue Piatt, some of my closest friends, to find out that their son, David, had taken his life. It is a privelege to sit in brokenness with people that you love. It also sucks and angers me to experience a broken and hurting world, especially when it impacts those you love.

I know there are many of you who have been blessed by John and Sue. I know that there are many of you who knew David and experienced the joy that he brought to life. If you would like to join with the Piatt family in memory of David, the Memorial Service will be held at 2pm on Saturday, October 11th. My friend, Steve Michiels, has opened the doors of his church, Northview Community Church, to host us. There will be a reception with light foods following the service.

Northview has a brand new location that is built into an industrial park (Canyon Creek Center) on Bothell Everett Highway in Bothell (right next to BioGenesis & Zipfizz). 18303 Bothell Everett Hwy bothell, Wa 98012

    John and Sue:

    We have not stopped praying for you our dear friends.
    We are so sorry that you have to bear this.

    I remember a quote that meant alot to me years ago: don’t know the author.

    “Sometimes the Lord calms the storm and sometimes he allows the seas to roll and calms his child.”

    Know that so many people love you.

    Chris and Sherrie Speller (Lauren too)
