PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in planning, preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you, Jennifer and the Teen Choir for the nice choral selection. Thank you Bud Myers for your special selection in song...nice job. I want to also thank all of the members who stayed for the one-item, necessary business meeting. Good work Ernie and Miller.

LEADERSHIP QUOTE: "The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives; history records the success of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former." A. Montapert.  Here is a humorous bonus by that great baseball player and philosopher, Yogi Berra, to lighten your day: "I never said most of the things I said." 
              
My desire for you this week is to hone and use your spiritual gift.    
In His Majesty's service, Pastor Darrell.
