I am so saddened to hear about Rev. Spence. He was such a blessing to our family in 2003 when my Dad, Glen, and mother Mary, passed. Rev. Spence also baptized me at the age of 16 (1964). Greenbottom Church was a big part of my life when I was growing up. God Bless and be with you during this time. Sharon Malcom

Elma and Family,
May the Holy Spirit of God be with each one during this time of sorrow. Both Xylphia and I sorrow with you in your loss. It was our pleasure to worship with Bro. Paul as our Pastor. By his love for the Lord we are convinced he is in Heaven with Jesus. May you be comforted with this hope. May God Bless you. In Christ Jesus.

I'm So sorry For your Loss. Our Loss of Paul Here On Earth with His Family and Friends Is His Gain. He is With Our Savior and Singing with The Angels. Paul was There when I acepted Jesus as My Savior, During Bible School, Many Years ago. What a wonderful Day that was. If There is One single Thing I think Of about Paul Is That He Is a True Man Of God. He walked In the Light Of God Every time I saw Him. I will Keep all Of you In My prayers.
