Cape & Islands Suicide Prevention
Suicide Is Preventable
TO ALL GENERAL MEMBERS
It brings me great sadness to announce the passing of one of our own Steering Committee Members. Reverend Jonathan Ahnquist succumbed to his illness at home on July 8th, 2018 surrounded by his family.
During his time on the Steering Committee, Reverend Ahnquist always provided love and compassion to all Cape Cod and Islands residents. He was a wonderful and amazing person whom always shined a positive light towards any challenge. Reverend Ahnquist will be sadly missed.
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. At our next General Membership meeting we will be offering a moment of silence in his honor.

A messege from the First Lutheran Church
We will be gathering the end of this week to celebrate the life and ministry of our beloved brother and pastor, Jonathan Ahnquist.
The visiting hours will be at First Lutheran on Thursday, July 12th from 4-7pm
The memorial service will be on Friday, July 13th at 1:00 pm.
Because we anticipate a large turnout for the memorial service we are asking our members to:
- Carpool (this is more than a suggestion. Use this as an opportunity to get to know others who live near you. If you need some suggestions, give us a call)
- Parking at the Church will be limited. There will be additional parking at the West Barnstable Fire Station or at Our Lady of Hope Church. Both locations are a very short walk to the church.
Condolences should be sent to Jana Ahnquist and Family 16 Cardinal Road Sandwich, MA 02563.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made, per the family’s request: First Lutheran Church, Cape Cod Council of Churches, or the Samaritans.
If you are able to bake an item for the collation, please call or email Lou Schild at 508-385-6815 capecodlou@comcast.net
If you are able to help: call FLC 508-362-3161 or email firstlutheran@comcast.net
- We could use some extra help with inside cleaning and straightening the grounds…we would welcome this help on Thursday morning.
- We could also use a person to answer the phones on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.
- We will need 4 people to help with parking on Friday beginning at 11:30.
