From Pastor Bob Traveling Thoughts Most folks probably know that Diane and I drove over a thousand miles last weekend. That’s a lot of traveling. (I’m grateful for cruise control!) It always amazes me how folks find an acceptable speeding range and stick to it. Most drivers were going 80 in the 70 MPH zone until they saw the multi-colored flashing lights on the shoulder. That’s moving pretty fast. We’re moving pretty fast, too. Seems like just yesterday that we celebrated Christmas. Today’s sermon will mark the last in our series about the attributes of God. It has been a rich experience for me to revisit the riches found in contemplating God’s character. Next week is Palm Sunday and then Easter. I’ll begin a short series in Philippians after that. Moving pretty fast… I heard last Sunday’s birthday fellowship in the evening was terrific. Great attendance and nearly 30 folks stayed for the movie. Thanks to all who organized the event. I’ve also received reports that the search for your next pastor is moving right along. Several things will be happening during this month, so keep the process in prayer. Our trip to Indianapolis was invigorating. We made several good contacts and there are some wonderful possibilities for us. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Thank you all for your prayers. They were definitely felt! God is on the move. Remain diligent and prayerful. It’s good to be back with you.
Softball: The first game will be April 18th! We are in need of women players. If your interested please see Becca Jones or Ryan Carlson. The cost is $60.00 (Please make checks payable to Becca Jones).
