The Week of May 24

Greetings from Swedlanda!

On Sunday, we began our Summer schedule, with services beginning at 9:30 a.m. Following worship, we enjoyed and coffee and juice fellowship provided by Cyndi, Bev & Dick.

Last week, strong winds damaged many shingles on the south side of the church. Keith H. spent the better part of two days doing repairs.

On Memorial Day, the Hector Legion provided a service in the morning. They even brought a cannon! Several faithful spectators were on hand.

Have a great week!

Blessings,

Pastor Stewart
