David Gilbert 1946 – 2014
A large congregation attended the thanksgiving service for David Gilbert on Saturday February 2.
It was held at the new premises of Light and Life church in Helston, in order to accommodate all who wanted to be there to honour a beloved brother in the Lord. His two sons, Tim and Nathan, spoke warmly of their father – of both his strong faith and sense of fun. Brian Watters, fellow elder at Helston Baptist Church, remembered David’s wonderful leadership and Pastor Alan Burns preached a heart-warming gospel message which David himself would have deeply appreciated. David had borne his final illness of pancreatic cancer with great grace.
