 Sunday Blessings!

 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord ~ Jeremiah 17:7

 It is not flesh and blood, but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.  Johann Friedrich von Schiller

June 19-20
Happy Father's Day! Hope you have some special plans with your family!

Happy Anniversary to Dana and Terry today!

Let's all pray that we get some much needed rain this weekend.
Pray for the family of Ned Cox who passed away this week. He was a former superintendent at the Sidney School.
Please continue to pray for Kelly and Brian, Mindy, and Larry Warren.

Don't forget the congregational church meeting next Sunday, June 27, at 10:00.

I have two special videos for Father's Day. The first is a father/daughter duet singing "The Prayer." The second is a choir of children singing "I See a Hero." I hope you enjoy them.
Mary

 I came across these words this past week and realized I was one of those people that "needed to hear this." After my health scare and finding out about Kelly and Brian losing their home in a fire and well let's face it, each one of us has our own trials we're faced with, so just maybe these words will help you too...

"He is not a God who bolts when life falls apart.  He sticks around and helps you put the broken pieces back together.  If you're in a hard place right now, keep your eyes open.  Don't give up.  He's working in the middle of your 'this'."   Jennifer Dukeslee 

 

I would also like to thank everyone for the prayers, love and concern. Feeling better each day. ~Mindy  

 

 These past months we have been sharing church memories each week.  Sometimes I feel that we have shared quite a few of them more than once, so I thought I would change things up a bit. 

 To me there is a certain charm and beauty found in not only abandoned churches but also little old country churches tucked away all around the countryside.

While gathering photos of these churches, I came across the following statement that I believe describes them perfectly:

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. unknown
