Our prayers go out tonight for the family, friends, 4th Pres co-workers and the people touched by the faith, love and devotion radiated by Rev. Dana Ferguson.
We were sad to learn today that Dana died Monday of heart failure brought on by complications from cancer treatments. She was only 42.
Our hearts ache for Dana’s husband, Rev. Wayne Myers and their two boys.
Our prayer is that they are comforted by the fact that she lives in all of us, all of those whose lives she touched and that she is at peace.
BTW…if you want a good read, check out some of Dana’s sermons online in the 4th Church archive.
You know it takes a special kind of brilliance to be able to deliver a powerful sermon that asks, “What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it’s all about?”
Indeed it is, she concluded in this 2002 Ash Wednesday message: “[J]ourney on to Jerusalem and Golgotha not only to repent but also to receive from a God with outstretched arms waiting to receive us, waiting to love us, waiting to redeem us. Go out now to turn yourselves around. For that is what it’s all about!”
