It is with great sadness that we receive the news of the passing of Joshua Weaver. Joshua had been our Worship Pastor at Shepherd of the Hills church in Porter Ranch for a number of years. In recent years, he had courageously fought battles with cancer as well as some other health issues.
Joshua had such a kind and gentle heart for people. You could not be around him for long without being completely impressed with his Christ-like heart and spirit. His incredible voice and giftedness as a worship leader was only part of what we will remember him for. There is so much more to tell you about him and the life he lived, but my words would never be adequate.

Joshua...we love you and we miss you greatly.

We know that because of his faith in Jesus Christ as Lord, Joshua has gone onto heaven where he is in the eternal presence of God...and we rejoice in that. As we now miss him, I ask you to please pray for his family and friends in this time of sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
