THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MANY THANKS!!!
Sunday was wonderful. The quilt was beautiful and has so many of
my fa-
vorite Bible verses on it. The bells and the choir special and
the organ touched my
heart. The food was great. It was great to have my pastor and
Associate Regional
Minister, Michael Davison, present to wrap everything up. The
prayer when the
elders and the congregation laid hands on us was powerful. Your
cards and gifts
mean so much to me. What a celebration!
There was ONE disappointment yesterday—Bill Murray didn’t make
his
appearance.
It has been my pleasure and privilege to serve you as
pastor.
You will always have a special place in my heart.
My prayers are for your best.
Love that new pastor as much as you love me. It will be your
best affirma-
tion that my ministry with you was healthy, strong and
enduring.
Thank you again for the privilege and pleasure of serving
you.
In his love, Martin
SEE YOU AT
THE POLE

CHOIR NOTES I want to thank the Bell Choir and the Choir for
ringing and singing this past Sunday. It was a joy to honor Martin

Reasons" and "You are God Alone." The choir will sing "Just As I
Am, I Come." See you Sunday
If you may have borrowed
white table cloths from the kitchen,

With the recent growth in our Sunday School program, the
Education Com-mittee has made a decision to move Caraway Street
back to performing on Sunday Mornings. Kick off Sunday for Caraway
will be the first Sunday in October. Our prayer is that with the
Wednesday program (starts August 24), and moving Caraway Street
back to Sunday mornings during the 10:30 service we will be able to
double our ministry to the youth.
To make this possible we do need some help from you. Caraway
Street still needs 1 actor, van drivers and blockparents. Please be
in prayer about how you can help this ministry. Thank you. Pam
Cunningham, Caraway Street Coordinator
