THE FOUNDERS
Rev. Thomas C. Reinecke, Sr.
May 5, 1929 – June 5, 2019
PASTOR TOM'S PROMOTION
Our Founding Pastor & Apostle, Tom Reinecke, Sr, has completed his Race of Faith, and transitioned to the Lord's glorious presence on Wednesday, June 5th, at 90 years of age.
We are grateful for a life well lived, in obedience to the Lord's calling, which has produced eternal fruit in 1,000's of lives for the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. To our dear Apostle, pastor, teacher and Dad, we celebrate with you, as you share in the Lord's victory over death, hell and the grave!! Well done, good and faithful servant of the Most High!!
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
2 Timothy 4:7,8
Pastor Phyllis C. Reinecke
January 12, 1932 – March 24, 2020
PASTOR PHYLLIS' PROMOTION
Pastor Phyllis departed this world and was ushered by the angels into the Lord's presence on March 24, 2020 at the age of 88. All who encountered Pastor were touched by the loving, nurturing way of a "Mom". Her godliness and love for the Lord, coupled with an Irish humor and fun-loving manner equipped her to bring the Lord's unconditional love and healing touch to those who were blessed to know her. She is greatly missed but has deposited much in us and left an incorruptible legacy for us. Well done, Mom!! We are blessed and forever grateful for your life.
Pastor Phyllis' passing was just as the pandemic was beginning so we were not able to have a Celebration of Life service when she departed. We are excited to announce we will be having this time of celebration on Saturday, June 5th, 2:00 PM at the Patapsco Valley State Park - Pickall Area, Pavilion 707, 8125 Johnnycake Rd, Windsor Mill, MD 21244. There will be a reception on-site at the conclusion of the service. All are welcome, however, we request the courtesy of an RSVP by May 15 to our church email, contact@sapphirechurch.org.
