PERSONAL NOTE: Thank you Savior Singers and Mr. Bud for bringing us the special song that you did Sunday. We always appreciate hearing from our kids. I want to thank all of the workers who made the kids costume party a grand success. We had about 67 children, along with a large number of parents. I believe that everyone enjoyed the event (congratulations to all of the winners). I had the opportunity to gently put a pie in the face of Sam (whose last name will be omitted in order to protect her identity). THANKS WORKERS! A job well done!
Congratulation goes out to all of the ladies who participated in the Thursday evening Love Gift Tea. I trust that the event went well and you accomplished your goals.

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Second Thessalonians, chapter 3 and verse 13, the Lord tells us that it is His will that we "... never tire of doing what is right." This passage teaches a very hands-on idea. God's word here is designed to be very practical. We should make it a point to be involved in good deeds. We should find it a joy and not a burden. You can figure out many ways to be doing God's will.
