April 13... Weekly Training Materials

Greetings to you all on this spring (I think) morning in Michigan, the water wonderland! We begin this work week after a very busy holy week. We had many opportunities to serve the Lord this last week with great joy... even though it was very full.

PERSONAL NOTE: Please allow me to begin by saying a mighty thank you to all who have been involved with the Easter week preparations. Without the ladies who set things up and the men who provided the cooking for the Sunday breakfast, we would not have had as successful a time.

Deaconess ladies receive a special thanks for two communion set-ups during this last week. Thank you, Terry and Ernie, for the great breakfast on Sunday morning... it was great! Thank you, Rick (and choir) for the extra music that was produced this last week. Thank you to the many who participated in the flowers that were provided... it was beautiful. I don't want to forget the many individuals who are behind the scenes (and that includes MaryAnn) and yet are necessary to get the job done... thanks!

Once again I pray that the Lord will bless our service to Him this week.
