Today I want to honor one of our loyal soldiers, Rev. Marianne Flick, who made her transition to the presence of the Lord. As I have said many times, “Only one life would soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” Her is a brief summary of her labor in the ministry in our local congregation. You will see a life that was devoted to this church and left a mark on many people for the Kingdom of God.
Marianne arrived at Upper Room Assembly of God in 1988. It wasn’t long before she became involved in Children’s Church with Pastor Ron as a “Happy House Helper.” She went on a mission trip to Jamaica with Pastor Ron and Pastor Avery and both of them remember her on that trip loving the people. She became involved in Missionettes and earned awards in all of the levels and became a Missionettes’ sponsor.
She joined Pastor Peter Joudry’s mission team and went on mission trips to Canada, Atlanta, and South Carolina. Marianne also volunteered in the church office.
Due to her faithfulness, she became an employee and was the Administrator for Youth and Children’s Ministries. She coordinated Fine Arts for the youth and Fun Arts for the children. She went to Fine Arts events, District Councils and General Councils. Along with that, there were hosts of retreats and activities that she helped organize.
In 2010, she was certified as a Credentialed Minister in the Assemblies of God. She became the Children’s Pastor where she served faithfully and willingly.
Pastor Marianne had the nicest disposition of anyone you would ever know. Although she had various physical infirmities, she never complained. She loved doing the work of the ministry. She was a soldier in the Army of the Lord, and served the Lord in our church, and it is our loss. By using her gifts and talents, she gave us the example of how to invest our lives in eternal things.
We will see her again one day. Let us be faithful in the work of the Lord, as she was.
Pastor Bruce Klepp
