In the midst of mourning, members of the congregation led by gospel singer Timothy Wright raised their voices in praise and remembrance yesterday, praying for their pastor’s recovery and grieving the deaths of his wife and grandson in a head-on car crash.

Congregants at the Grace Tabernacle Christian Center refused to be bowed by sorrow following the crash, which critically injured the Grammy-nominated Rev. Wright and killed his wife and co-pastor, Betty Wright, and their 14-year-old grandson. Women in Sunday white and men in dark suits pounded their feet and sang joyful gospel tunes, forgoing solemnity to praise God and share memories of the Wright family.

“We honor the Lord for his goodness and his kindness. We say, in spite of everything: God is still good,” the Reverend Frank Williams told the crowd.

Timothy Wright, the church’s 61-year-old founder, was in critical condition, but speakers at the services reassured congregants that he was conscious and led them in fervent prayers for his health.

“He shall live,” Rev. Williams said. “He has impacted too many people. He has paid some of our rents when he couldn’t even pay his own.”

Rev. Williams recalled Betty Wright’s sharp sense of humor and strength, calling the 58-year-old “the most powerful, phenomenal woman.”

“Their blood and sweat are in the walls,” he said of the Wrights and the Pentecostal church, located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
