From Kathy…

You may have noticed that we're not standing for as many hymns and songs during worship. We've made the change to improve the experience of those who are unable to stand. The view isn't so great if one has to remain seated while everyone else is standing--check it out some time and remain seated when others are standing. When I attended the Festival of Homiletics in May, I was able to attend 17 worship services in 5 days (I know for some that might be a bit much but I loved it). So I experimented with sitting while others were standing and discovered a number of things including that one can sing joyfully while remaining seated.

I want to thank everyone who has been working around the church to spruce it up--the crews who painted the building, the crew that painted the porch, the folks that weeded the parking lot and all the other wonderful things that have happened.  We still have more painting to do but things are looking much better. Thank you to all who have helped!

Our Saturday morning breakfasts continue and we're helping a lot of people--folks who are lonely or depressed or hungry or homeless or enjoying fellowship. You're invited to come down any Saturday morning, enjoy breakfast and visit with our guests. If you have something you need to do at the church, come have breakfast and then go do your tasks. If you would like to serve on a Saturday breakfast crew or be a sub., please call Mary Ann Blohm-Craig.

Grace & Peace, Kathy
