PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in planning, preparation for the Sunday worship service. I also want to thank Dave Lester and Bud Myers for going to the Mich. annual ABC meeting in Lansing. They represented our congregation in the business meetings. I also want to thank everyone who went to CRI and helped with the Christian literature...good work!
We will be having one baptism this coming Sunday...I look forward to this.
