On Thursday, July 16th, we had the special privilege of welcoming home our missionaries in Europe. They are home in the States for an extended time, working on advanced studies in missionary leadership and settling in their oldest son to attend college.
To celebrate our time together, we got a personal report on all the family happenings, followed by an ice cream social. It was a wonderful evening of catching up and enjoying the fellowship of the saints!

Saturday: The next men’s fellowship meets this Saturday, July 18th at 9:00 am. This study for men of all ages begins with a discussion of “Practical Religion” by J.C. Ryle. In asking for self-examination of our Christian practices, Ryles states: We live in an age of special spiritual danger. When we look around us, we may well ask, “How do we do about our souls?”

The rain stopped late in the day, and the sky cleared up just in time for our 4th of July picnic at Ingersol Centennial Park! The kids had fun on the playground; the adults just enjoyed the fellowship of being together. And the food—oh, my! The time for games, learning how to juggle and watching the parade before the spectacular fireworks display. Another great holiday shared with brothers and sisters in Christ!

But that was not the worst of his trials! His grief was multiplied exponentially by the sudden death of his precious wife. He was brought to the point where the only thing he had left was his dependance upon his Lord—and his ability to find comfort in that was weakening. Read more…
