 Word of the Week July 21, 2009
Pastor's Note 

Well, I guess I will spend the rest of my week popping balloons so I can reach my desk!  Thank you everyone for the surprise party and all the wonderful cards for my Birthday.  I had thought it was such a well-kept secret!
 
See you all again this weekend!
