Rev. Vincent and Sis. Patricia Houseworth would like to send their condolences to the entire Mason family. Pastor Mason was truly a man of God who preached and understood the true meaning of Isaiah Chapter 28 and the 23rd through the 24th verse, where the Bible says "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line here a little, and there a little. 24).They also that erred in spirit came to understanding and they that murmured shall learn doctrine." My wife and I were truly blessed every Sunday morning that we had an opportunity, to visit The Greater Pearlie Grove M.B. Church, by the non compromising Preaching of the word of God, by Pastor Mason. He truly Preached in season and out of season. He also made it known that all of his blessings came through Jesus Christ. A man of God that will truly be missed!!
