Pastor's Notes

This past week, we enjoyed a time of vacation in Orlando, Florida in the Disney World Resorts.  Unfortunately, most of the family was sick for the trip, and Joel is still struggling.  We are hoping that with the return to a normal routine and diet, that he will begin feeling better quickly.  We are definitely glad to be home.  I missed you all, and was almost more excited to come home than I was to leave.

For the last several months, I have been neglecting to take my day off on Tuesday.  With the return home from vacation, I will resume observing a semblance of a day off on that day.  Pastor Bossley will be here in the church, or I will be available by cell phone on those days.

On the last Saturday of the month, there will be Children's Choir practice.  All young people are invited to attend this session to learn a song to be sung the next day at the beginning of the service.  Parents, practice will be between 30 - 40 minutes.

Anyone interested in singing in a church choir, please see Pastor.  If you are willing and able to play for the choir, volunteers are gladly accepted.  Depending on who is interested, will determine on when practices will be.

Starting this month in Prayer Meeting, we will be highlighting a different missionary to reacquaint ourselves with their ministry.  If we have a visual presentation from them, we will display that.  Otherwise, we will give an oral presentation of their ministry and highlight their recent praises and requests and any notable changes in their ministry.  For example, the Hondsdon's (Venezuela) completed the purchase of property for a church on Friday and will begin construction on Monday.  May we continue to know and pray for those whom we support around the world.
