Greetings from Swedlanda,
We had a beautiful day for our worship service today. Special music had been invited by Doug and Darlene S. Grandson Kyle A. played the saxophone and was accompanied by Granddaughter Hannah C. Their performance was appreciated and quite a few family members were there to see them play. We had some other visitors as well. The theme from our Gospel Lesson had to do with welcoming, which seemed very appropriate for the day. After worship we enjoyed fellowship and refreshments provided by Doug & Darlene and family.
Gail and Gary D. provided flowers in appreciation of our freedom and all the men and women who make that possible through their service in the Armed Forces in the past and serving now. They reminded us that the 4th of July is approaching. Have a safe and happy celebration!
If you are interested, the sermon is available through the link on your right. A few announcements have been included below.
God bless,
Pastor Stewart
