No Meeting on Sunday

This Sunday, due to Mother's Day, there will be no meeting. Enjoy time with your families!

Although a number of us were under the weather, we still had a great time last Sunday. Kelly Thiele did a phenomenal job at her recital - it is amazing to see how her voice and performance have both matured. Of course, now that she will be graduating, the tough part of actually finding a career will be her next obstacle, but with the talents that she has been blessed with and the support of everyone at church, we all hope that she will find success. Kelly told me that so many things felt so right about having the opportunity to perform her recital in her home church, in front of all the people that she grew up with. I think that even though I did not really grow up in the church (well, at least not as a child), I have to agree that one of the great things about the church is the feeling of love and support that we fell for one another. We are truly blessed by God.

Also, good luck to Emily Payne, who last Sunday headed off to work in the rice paddies in Japan. I am sure that she will have great stories to tell us when she returns. Keep her in your prayers.

This week begins Kickball with Katherine Palo. Hope to see some people there. Otherwise, our next meeting will be on May 15, probably meeting at our (the Ing) home.
