God is Good

We are enjoying fellowship with God and with one another. Such a blessing to have Judy Myre with us more often. She has retired from her caregiver position, and is able to come more Sundays. It is unfortunate that she retired because of her health issues, but we are glad she is with us. This Sunday, we were also blessed to have Jim and Judy's great-grandson, Dylan, with us for church again.

Besides this, we continue to appreciate Caleb's accompaniment for our worship songs. Thanks, Caleb, for your labor of love on our behalf.

Lastly, the youngest five Blikstads have been blessing us with songs they learned during VBS a few weeks ago. Each of the past three Sundays they have sung for our offertory. Today, they sang the "Trinity Song," even adding a verse while singing in a round. It was great!

Thank You for the Care Given to Art Wray

I was blessed last weekend by the outpouring of support and care given to Art Wray. We mourn with him at the loss of his wife, Patti. Numerous people at Tamiami Village and RV Park were a part of the service we had for her on Sunday. The amount of people that came to honor Patti and show support for Art was tremendous. Etta Thomas played the piano and Cynthia Schroeder sang. Several ladies provided refreshments for a time of fellowship after the service. Plenty of others set up and broke down Patriot Hall for the memorial service. What a blessing all of these people were to Art and to me personally. Thank you for your love shown on Sunday. God bless you for it!
