WE ARE ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR OUR GUESTS, WE HOPE YOU'LL VISIT OFTEN:

There were no guests on April 26.

We missed Bill Ferguson, our fearless Sergeant at Arms, last week as he was home recovering from knee surgery. Our best prayers are with him for his complete and speedy recovery.

A THOUGHT TO CARRY WITH YOU:

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

Albert Schweitzer
