Friends:
After having been away for several weeks it's time to start preaching again!
It was fun seeing Noah our grandson who is now 6 weeks old and over 12 lbs, spending time with Brian and Rachel and Katie and Mary and his royal majesty Noah, riding in the power boat and kayaking out to the bay, and seeing the kingbirds, white tail deer, and even a blue haron from only 15 feet away.
And it was a delight to go to Georgia for the wedding of Laura Lee (Patterson) Huttenback (whom I baptized some 30 years ago) to Andy Sidford in Dahlonega Georgia at the Frogtown Winery.
(Be sure to ask my bride of 35 years, what it was like to pan for gold, eat at the Bourbon Street restaurant, and travel through the Luray Caverns! We that and drive through driving rain storms there and back!)
But regular life calls and it is time to get back to the Word and sharing it with a very blessed community of Jesus' followers. And cut the grass. And unpack. And get ready for fall. Sigh!
Thanks to Elders Candy Burnett, Jim Eggleton, Edgar Hayes, and Elizabeth Orengo for leading worship and preaching. They are true disciples putting their spiritual gifts to work on behalf of the community.
And thanks to all our staff members, who although the boss is away, choose to play with love and grace as they do their ministry of typing and cleaning and playing and caring for God's people here in Otisville.
We are truly blessed as a family, a larger one as we add more little ones as well as amazing adults.
May God continue to work in this wonderful outpost of His kingdom!
See you on Sunday!
Jeff
