117 on the road toll

Sorry to hear this morning that Samuel, a 17 year old international student who attends our church, died today from injuries from a hit-and-run incident last Saturday.

He was doing nothing more than waiting for a bus.

It might be easy to get angry at the driver, but we know that doesn't get us anywhere.

Just a reminder that life is short.
