Just wanted to let you know we are still smiling. This picture was taken by Jack Delamarter when they visited a week ago. I think we're having too much fun!!!!It seems I say the same thing each week, but it's true -- we had a great day of worship. Present were 4 people who were not in attendance the end of November. The spirit is good and people are wanting to move forward. Even with the time change, only one person arrived just in time to hear the final prayer. This was a lady new to the church and she stayed for the fellowship afterward -- and for the leadership meeting. The leadership is united and determined for our church to make an impact in our community. We are talking about entering a float in a parade that will happen in May. More about this later as it develops but it holds promise to be a very positive, fun, and inspiring time (probably a lot of work, too!).
This coming Saturday (the 17) is the Annual Blessing of the Fleet and Seafood Festival. As part of this event there is a short memorial service for fishermen who have been lost at sea. I am going to be the speaker at the memorial -- apparently the newby gets this distinction each year. My part is supposed to be verrrrry short -- like 10 minutes. So I am practicing being concise!
Tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday are the days they will air the Jeopardy shows that Jana and I went to. I'd be more excited about saying... "be sure to watch," except they are showing very few audience shots lately. Maybe they will change their minds and show a little when they realize what good looking people they have in the audience. Hummm... suppose? Jana and I are sitting in the front row next to a center aisle -- if they happen to show us.
Well, keep up the good work. You are doing a good job. We appreciate your encouragement.

What a BEAUTIFUL couple! I'll snatch that photo for our memory book. The love of the Lord is beaming through in your smiles. To God be the glory, great things he has done!
A float is a great idea. And yes, it is a LOT of work but the people will remember you by participating in community events.
Joyce, remember the Bible club floats we did in high school? I believe you were an angel?
Keep smiling and you will be spreading the love of Jesus.
Love,
Bess and Rick
