June 25, 2012... Training Materials

Greetings on this sunny and comfortable Michigan morning.

PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who help make VBS a great week. I am told that we had 12 salvation decisions for the week... which is tremendous. For that, we thank the Lord!

I offer up a mighty BIG thanks to Commander Bill Swift and associates for their hard work and dedication. Bill, tell your team a big WELL DONE!!! Our church family rejoices over the week's accomplishments.

I want to thank Director, Dallas Gatlin from Carriage Town Ministries for being our guest speaker for the day, Sunday, and for informing us more about what they do and how we can accomplish much with them. Thanks Dallas.

June 4, 2012... Training Material

Greetings to you all on this Monday morning.

PERSONAL NOTE: I ask that you continue to remember my daughter, Angela, in prayer for her swift recovery from surgeries this past weekend. We thought her surgery was going to be fairly simple but it turned into every parents worst nightmare. Fortunately, everything was "fixed" and she is doing well in recovery. She may even go home to recuperate later today. Dallas (her dog) will be very glad to see momma.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Sunday's worship service. Thanks Linda for keeping me apprised of what I need to be aware of and thank you Mr. Bud for singing your solo. Thanks goes out to the ladies who prepared the communion set. I appreciate all that everyone does. I also want to congratulate the long time members who received a special flower of recognition yesterday. Your faithfulness to the church and to your Lord is wonderful.
