The Week of July 12

Greetings from Swedlanda!This past week’s activities began in Fairfax with a baseball outing. Curt Sampson was celebrating his 76th birthday and had invited several notable baseball celebrities, including Harmon Killebrew and Wally the beer man. Andy W. from Swedlanda made some good plays on the field and a number of Swedlanda fans were spotted in the crowd. A good time was had by all. Dale Dean, a life-long member of Swedlanda, passed away that same evening. His funeral was held on Friday, and was attended by many family members and friends. The sanctuary was filled with beautiful flowers. Dale had been on our prayer list for a long time and will be missed by all.The week concluded with Hector Corn Chaff Days. Many Swedlanda members attended various events in town.. Jayden F. took part in the Kiwanis Bike Rodeo. Our own Cyndi W. was selected as the Outstanding Citizen of Hector and others looked on as the parade passed by. Today at worship Ralph and Corrine S. invited grandson Nathan to provide special music. He played a superb medley on the piano. Afterwards, Nancy S. provided fresh rolls and coffee for our fellowship.
God’s blessings this week,

Pastor Stewart
