The Death of Rev. John Schroeder

We were hoping to get this word out to you in person on Sunday, but the snow and weather of New Hampshire made it otherwise.

 

Rev. John Schroeder died last week after a fairly short period of declining health.  Rev. Schroeder served as interim minister here at the church for a while in the 1990's, and has preached here periodically since.  Often he would play the keyboards for our Apple or Strawberry Festival and was an intellegent, faithful man who touched many of us with his wisdom and insight.

 

Rev. Schroeder also was Jo Chase's Dad, probably his most important role.  The Schroeders lived with Jo and Tom until just a month ago.

 

There will be a memorial service on Saturday, November 5 at noon.  The services will be held at the Middle Street Baptist Church at 18 Court Street in Portsmouth (which is on the corner of Court Street and Middle Street).

 

 Please hold the Schroeder family in your prayers, both in thanksgiving for the great life that Rev. Schroeder lived and the family who feels his loss.
