Blessings to you, loved ones.  Read on for this week’s update.

It was a small crowd last Sunday, but that gave us an opportunity to share with each other more easily.  I appreciate each of you who contributed something to the discussion we had during the Sunday School session.  I hope you’ll always come ready to share something that God gave you in your prayer and study throughout the week.  If the opportunity arises, you’ll be ready.  If not, you’ll have something you can share outside the walls of our building.  We should always be ready for that.

Priscilla and Kimie were off getting some much needed down time.  Edith, Anita, and Dede were all not feeling well.  Keep them in your prayers.  We miss all of you when you’re not with us.  We are blessed by your presence.

Speaking of people who are missed, Teresa made an appearance!  She always brightens the room and we’re so glad she got to come.  I also noticed that Ms. Fox was waiting at the door before the service, taking seriously the idea that whoever arrives first should be ready to greet others who come in.  I’m just so delighted at how you are all picthing in to make this church all that it can be for the glory of God.

This Sunday, Linda has something special to share with you for Sunday  school.  I think you wil be blessed to hear what she has to say.  I am going to pick up where we left off last week, moving into the 10th chapter of John.  Jesus is still speaking after he has healed the man born blind and revealed to him Who it is who has don it.  This is His answer to the challenge of the Pharisees, “we are not blind too, are we?”  Jesus now uses a well understood metaphor from prophecy to declare again who He is.  He is the Good Shepherd.  We’ll focus on John 10:7-18.

Come join us!  We love you!
