In brief...

First of all, last Sunday with Dr. Curtis was wonderful. It was very meaningful and Sunday School is going remarkably well also.

This Sunday, worship will not be at Bessemer Church - rather, it will be at the Bessemer Lake Park, which is a little farther up Main Street/Hillsville Road toward Hillsville. Worship is at 10AM with a picnic lunch to follow. If you want to come by chance, call me and I'll make sure to give you more directions.

Seriously, if you are a friend and you ever read this, you should come hear me preach at Bessemer. I will be there on Jul. 29, Aug. 5, 19, 26, Sept. 9, 23, 30, Oct. 14, 28, Nov. 4 & 25, Dec. 9, Dec. 23, 24 and 30. Worship is at 9:30 from now until Sept. 9, when it goes back to the 10:45AM worship time.

This weeks theme for the service is God's creation. The sermon is done, although my laptop is under the weather right now. Thank God for my dad's ever-faithful MacBook laptop, which has saved the day.

Other interesting story of the day...had to help save the custodian from a raccoon who made his nest in a garbage can outside the church. Actually, I wouldn't touch it - thought it could be rabid. So she got some of the guys from the Bessemer Boro Bldg. to come and take care of it. We are grateful to them for their help (Even though they laughed at us).

Well, it's late and I have to be at church at 8AM (well, 9AM but I go in early). So goodnight and God bless.
