Hello my friends,

Mother's Day, a day we honor the ladies who've had an influence on our lives.  Who've pointed us in a direction to be better.  We start with breakfast at 9:00.  Our song is "Truth Be Told" because how many times have our moms pushed through and did the job because they were "the mom"?  I know my mom did.  Let's celebrate this morning.

Pastor Donna ❤️

Special Music, "Truth Be Told" by Matthew West and Carly Pearce

"Sweet Hour of Prayer"  by Alan Jackson

Benediction:  Lamentations 3:21-25

Thought I would share pictures this morning of the progress of the new Hamburg Inn and Suites.  Not sure of the opening date but thought to be in June.  It will be a nice place to stay should you pass this way.

Thought I would share another picture that I feel captures life here in Iowa.  This was taken by Judy Holliman one evening with the beautiful view she has from her home looking out over the land and the "Nish".    Thanks Judy for sharing!

 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
