In Memoriam
We are saddened to share that beloved SU Board Chair Emeritus, Gordon Haresign, died unexpectedly on February 11, 2021 at age 83.
Scripture Union lost a treasure this month – an advocate, advisor, leader, prayer warrior and friend. Some of you will have known Gordon Haresign, who served on our Board since 2003 and most recently, as Board Chair until he passed on the baton in October 2020. We welcomed him to portions of our board meeting as Emeritus in early February. He was filled with enthusiasm and imagination for our future plans.
The vision of Scripture Union is to see people of all ages coming to faith in Christ, committed to God and his word and living as salt and light. Gordon Haresign embodied our vision as someone who constantly shared his faith, faithfully studied God’s Word and brightly let his light shine. We give thanks for his life and ministry.
