Special 'Go' Opportunity


As many of you local Suisun City folks know, a tragic accident occurred in our community this past Monday. Lawrence Smith (41) lost his life. He left his wife of 15 years, Damaris, and five children, ranging in ages from 6-14. Needless to say, the family is devastated by this loss, and are mourning deeply for their beloved husband and father.

The Suisun Police Department, under the compassionate leadership of Chief Ed Dadisho, Commander Tim Mattos, and Chaplain Rick Stonestreet, want to provide more for this young struggling family than condolences. The police department wants to begin a program of loving and compassionate outreach to those in our community thrust in to these harsh situations, in junction with faith-based organizations like FCC.

Until we brainstorm and create this response, the family of Lawrence Smith is currently in need of acute care. This is where I’m counting on you!

If you are willing to provide and deliver a meal to this family, please email Chaplain Rick Stonestreet at the following email addresses: pstonestreet@sbcglobal.net, rickstonestreet@yahoo.com and pastor@cbcf.net. Chaplain Stonestreet is currently scheduling those willing to help by providing meals delivered by 5:45PM. **Special Note: Due to allergies, the meal cannot contain peanuts or seafood. You are welcome to purchase a meal from a restaurant or eatery, or prepare it yourself.

As Christ’s local ambassadors, let’s seize this opportunity to rise up and ‘Go’ for the glory of His name.

I LoveYou & I’m Proud of You FCC!


In the Fight,
