From Pastor Jim | |
Dear Friends,
We had our best Vacation Bible School ever! 67 children and over 30 adults and youth all experienced a high energy week of learning to trust God. It culminated with our own Sean Hogan, landing a National Guard Helicopter on the back lawn! Talk about a cool VBS!! Way to go Tina, Joie and team!
God is GOOD! ALL the time!
Your pastor and friend...
Jim Weldon

"Our circumstances are not an accurate reflection of God's goodness. Whether life is good or bad, God's goodness, rooted in His character, is the same." - Helen Grace Lescheid
An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead."
A police recruit was asked during the exam, "What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He said, "Call for backup."
A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied: "They couldn't get a baby-sitter." ---------
A very dirty little fellow came in from playing in the yard and asked his mother, "Who am I?"
Ready to play the game she said, "I don't know! Who are you?"
"WOW!" cried the child. "Mrs. Johnson was right! She said I was so dirty, my own mother wouldn't recognize me!"
"When we commit ourselves to times of solitude with the Lord, we cannot know what will happen...How we will change, in what directions we might grow. But we can be certain that time with God will result in something good, something beneficial for us and for those around us." - Penelope J. Stokes
