My Comment: Our hearts and prayers are with the families and the congregation of Colonial Hills Baptist Church. When tragedy strikes it’s hard to understand, this is when we must trust God more than ever. Trust His will and trust in His comfort. 2Corinthians 5:7-8 ‘For we walk by faith , not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.’ God will send His Holy Spirit to comfort the families. And they can take great comfort knowing that we have that promise ‘To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.’
(Daily Mail) The youth pastor of an Indianapolis church and his pregnant wife were among the three who died in Saturday’s bus crash, a church leader said.
Youth pastor Chad Phelps and his wife, Courtney Phelps, were expecting their second child next month, Colonial Hills Baptist Church deacon Jeff Leffew said at a news conference today.
Chad Phelps is the son of the church’s main pastor, Charles Phelps.
Tonya Weindorf, a mother-of-five who was a chaperone on the trip to the northern Michigan youth camp, also died, Leffew said.

‘Our church grieves now. We grieve the fact that they’re not here now. We miss them,’ Leffew said.
Dozens were injured in the crash, which happened on Saturday afternoon on an Interstate 465 exit ramp.
Bus driver Dennis Mauer, 68, told authorities the brakes failed before the vehicle struck a raised concrete median and flipped on its side, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report.
The toddler who was injured was Chad and Courtney Phelps’ son, Leffew said. The church’s website says the son’s name is Chase and he is almost two-years-old.
IU Health spokeswoman Sally Winter said Sunday that the toddler had been released from the hospital.
