Pastor Paul Guay

My thoughts and prayers go out to my brothers and sisters in Mabton and the greater FGBC community. While in our heads we all knew this day would come, our hearts are heavy with the passing of Pastor Paul Guay. He is in a better place and we have all been better people just for having known him!
