Well, we are a day late in getting the newsletter out because we were without electricity until yesterday afternoon around 4:00 pm.  I tree just up the street west of us took out the power line.  What a great day we had Sunday!  It’s always special when we observe baptism, but it was especially sweet for me getting to baptize one of my grandchildren.  It was also special recognizing our graduates ...  Read More

What a great day Sunday!  I appreciate the word Devin brought to us, enjoyed the singing but most of all, enjoyed being with you.  Every week is special as we gather as the family of God to sing the praise of God, hear His word proclaimed and encourage one another.  This coming Sunday is no exception.  We will gather again for worship and this time we will recognize our graduates and witness bapti...  Read More
