‍HOLY BAPTISM

David J. Retzlaff, age 62, was called from this world to eternal glory on July 25 after a brief illness.  Services for Dave were conducted on August 1, here at St. Paul, Hillsboro church.  We mourn with the family, but rest on God’s promise of eternal life and salvation through Jesus, our Savior.  Please keep the family in your prayers during this time of loss.
