More to do...

A week ago, Gramma helped with a puppet show at the church. The puppets, Lizzy and Freeman, were pretty good at their presentations. The church received over $1000.00 that day for our apportionment to the Conference.

This past Sunday, Father's Day, Grampa and Gramma gave presentations about our Conference visits. Grampa really gets going...he yelled, "God is Good!" Several confused faces stared back. Of course the response is, "All the time." Then there is a reversed repeat, "All the time," "God is Good." That's something that our energetic Bishop interjected any time we were not singing.

We are trying to get our church services recorded for the home-bound and hospitalized members. Grampa is happily learning about the new gadgets. I am sure there is something brewing in that hair challenged head.

Tonight is council, Saturday is choir party, Sunday is church, July begins Bible study. I'm not sure what we would do with free time.

We're off to see the Bishop...


Collecting medical supplies...


World wide missions...


The Bishop gave $50,000 to mission groups...



Grampa surrounded by Lay Speakers...


The Chartering of a new church...

Like good Methodist everywhere..Grampa and Gramma went to Conference. The highlights were the missions (top three pics), Lay Speaker recognition (do you see Grampa?), the chartering of a new church in the City, and Bishop Wilke (yes, from Kansas Wilke) who gave the sermon during the ordination service. Very inspiring...all of it.

landscaping...

Just planted...we still have some bush removal along the fence, but this is the basic change. I guess the landscaper thought we needed more color.
