Yes, the Swedes have descended upon Swedlanda again. Last Sunday, we had a Ryberg reunion and this Sunday afternoon, a caravan of cars arrived in the front of the church and 40 Swedes poured out, looking for a Dahlgren tombstone. They were on a tight schedule, headed for the Palmyra Covenant and Palmyra Lutheran cemeteries, but I managed to coax a few inside the church before the tour guide rounded them up. As I said in my sermon today, the nations are coming to the neighborhood.
This was the 4th of July weekend, so we recognized that fact at church today and the significance of our global civil community. Julie LaFond played the piano and organ for us, accompanying hymns and providing special music. It was nice to have her as a visitor.
I hope you have enjoyed a safe and relaxing weekend.
God’s blessings,
Pastor Stewart
