Pastor’s Weekly Greeting Hello Brothers and sisters,
You will notice that the design of the newsletter has changed a bit. I was told by some that the extra column on the left created a problem when they tried to view it on their smart phone
I hope you were inspired as much as I was by the service this past Sunday. We have much we can improve on – (Dr Balcomb was kind enough to offer some suggestions). I was great to see some faces I have not seen in a few years. That was the result of an invitation sent out by Dr Balcomb.
If you know of someone that has not been around for a while – please take a moment to send them a kind invitation.
God’s heart is - no one left behind!
I hope you had a Happy Easter. Let’s make it a great week! God Bless You and your Family! Sincerely, Andrew Compton

Light Thought for the Day Having avoided the scale for a few years, my husband finally got up the nerve to climb aboard. Unable to read the numbers, he got off to grab his eyeglasses and stepped back on.
“What do you know?” he called out. “These glasses weigh 30 pounds.”
