Greetings on this overcast Monday morn.
PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in the worship service. Special thanks to Brenda von Linsowe for the special music. I also want to thank The Foresters, along with Kate and John, for the great concert Sunday afternoon...the last of our 2013 Summer Concerts. I really enjoyed it! If you were not there you missed a real blessing! Man, could that John play the piano!!! I think that keyboard is still warm today!

Congratulations to the baptismal candidates!I also want to thank Bud Meyers for going to the ABC Michigan Annual Meeting on Saturday. We had a great time of fellowship together (and even a few laughs!).
