What a great day we had last Sunday as Rev Douglas Johnson brought the message “What’s for dinner?”. He also played the piano for the service and he really moved us with his songs.  I hope he will be back soon! We have finished up the Old Testament and are going through the Gospel’s this week and it is just a few weeks away from our graduation. If nothing else this Bible study has gotten us to commit to reading the Bible more and I hope we will not  stop now. My prayer is that the Bible will be a daily part of your life and you will continue to see what God has to say to us through his scripture.

This Sunday is Fathers day and I am really excited about the chance to celebrate it with you my kids.  I may not be old enough to be your father but I hold the postion of pastor of this congregation so I feel like I am responsible for leading you and setting an example for you. This week I am going to be talking about a story Jesus told about a wonderful father, and then relates it to our Heavenly Father. The scripture this week is one you should have read this week in your bible study it is Luke 15:11-12. This is the familiar story of the “prodigal son” or as we look at it this week the parable of “a loving Father”.  I hope you will be here Sunday to celebrate with us. And as we did on Mother’s day if you have a story you would like to share about your father please be prepared to do so.

Please keep praying for Mike as he goes back to the doctor this week. I will keep you updated as soon as I hear something. And pray for all our sick and suffering members who are battling all sorts of sickness and other problems. IT is our responsibility to pray for the ones who need a touch from God because by doing so we unleash the power of God inside of each of us. Keep working hard doing the business of God and keep doing good things for other people.  I can’t wait to see you on Sunday. We love you and may God bless you and your family.
