2nd Annual TEE IT UP FOR SPENCER GOLF TOURNAMENT

Spencer’s life was far too short, but his mother’s new purpose in life, “Is to honor him by helping other families who have to face the tragedy of losing a child.” All proceeds benefit Faith’s Lodge as well as FOD (Fatty Oxidation Disorders) Family Support Group, and Hopeful Heart Project.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. — 1 PETER 1:3-5
