Following tributes from members of the congregation, a picture of Pernice, the pastor’s robe she wore when she was ordained as a minister, a nameplate and the center’s mission / vision statement were placed on a wall outside the sanctuary.

Richmond View School founder Ian Bilby, centre, marked the 40th anniversary of the school with principal Dave Pauling, left, and Elim Christian Centre senior pastor Tom Hatch on Thursday.
It is rare for the founder of a school to attend a 40th anniversary celebration, but Richmond View School founder Ian Bilby expressed his delight on Thursday at being witness to the fruit of the seed he planted. “It’s a joy to be here today and see the ongoing development of a seed that was planted in my heart many years ago,” Bilby said. “Everything does begin with a seed. Someone said any fool can count how many seeds are in an apple, but only God knows how many apples there are in a seed.”

WARREN The Warren area had come to know Apostle Loretta Pernice for her work to help others facing challenges and addictions through the Elim Christian Center in Warren and Total Deliverance and Pathway Sober House.
Pernice died Feb. 14 in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Joseph Warren Hospital following complications from a recent battle with COVID-19. She was 62.
The Rev. T. Anthony Bronner, presiding bishop and chancellor of Turning the World Upside Down Covenant Fellowship Inc. extended his sympathies and condolences to the family of Pernice.
“Pastor Pernice played an instrumental role in the developing of lives in the Warren and Ashtabula churches. She personified the relatable evangelist and the every person’s pastor,” Bronner said in a statement.
