What a long weekend this has been. First there was the funeral of our Sister-in-Christ, Nellie Rowley. I felt the service went well as we enjoyed remembering this Spiritual giant who has, as we say in The Salvation Army, been "Promoted to Glory."
On Saturday I was delighted to fellowship with Paul Whitmore, a young man from my home of Coventry was happened to be visiting the area. Paul was a teenager when I left the Corps in 1991 and it was great to see his maturity in Christ, and to meet his wife and two boys. I delight in opportunities such as these.
Then there was Sunday - a good Church Service, a Church lunch, a, meeting of the Church leaders, the setting up of the building in preparation for Vacation Bible School and then transporting three young men to Northern Virginia so they could enjoy a week at The Salvation Army camp in Florida. I am very excited to be sending delegates to the event in Florida as they are the first people I have been prepared to send in the five years I have been here. Their way was paid by generous donors from our area, and I can guarantee that they will come back refreshed and inspired. God is blessing our Church.
