“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

My Prayer is that God will strengthen and Guide you all thru this time. Rev. Stewart ( BIG MAN ) will be missed–His Smile always made a person feel that everything would be OK. Lean not on you own understanding but in all ways acknowledge God and he will direct your path.
Our prayers and condolences to the Stewart family Big was a bigger than life fellow with a genuine smile and laugh with a passion for the word of God. RIP my friend.
Our condolences to the family. May God continue to bless you through this difficult time. Big Man will be missed with that strong vocal voice he had especially when he sing 🎵. With His deep voice he wasn’t shy, and he didn’t need a microphone. With his saying during some services I heard “Yeah, Yeah,Yeah! He will be missed. RIP Cousin.
We are confident that absence from the body is in the presence of the Lord. Big Man, a Bryan icon, is right at home, at peace. My prayers and condolences to the Stewart family. Praying God’s comfort brings you peace. Love you all.
On behalf of the late Reverend D. N. Jones family, we send our sympathy to the Stewart family. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We pray for your healing.
