Memphis Theological Seminary Chapel

This is the video of the last sermon that our friend, colleague, and fellow student, George "Duke" Williams, preached. Duke lost his battle with cancer on Sunday morning, May 13th. He served as a powerful witness to us all and taught us what "dying well" really looks like.

• Former student and employee, Tonie Robinson, had by-pass surgery in her leg to remove blockages. She is at home and doing well.
• David Hilliard, former interim president, received good news after a CT scan this month. New medicine is helping the prostate cancer.
• Rev. Dr. Edward Hollenbeck, a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, is suffering from kidney failure.
• Rev. Jonathan Clark, a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, is retiring next month after many years in ministry.
• Chuck Lindsey, current D.Min. student, is undergoing cataract surgery.
• Current student, Barbara Fitzhugh's husband, Johnny, has been diagnosed with lung cancer and is undergoing radiation treatments that seem to be helping.
