Hello Friends,

I have to tell you that I am still glowing from the worship and picnic on Sunday. The laughter, the stories, the music, and of course the food, made for a fantastic joy filled time. There was no doubt that God was among us, there was even some divine weather provided for us to enjoy.

During my message, I urged all of you to look for the miracles throughout our day at Whetstone Gulf. I pointed out that there are miracles around us all the time, some big, and some quite small. As always, I took the prompting of the message God gave me to share and I watched with joy as the miracles unfolded around me. Believe me, there were many.

One of the things that filled my heart the most was how everyone worked together to make it a special event. The set up and tear down was smooth with many active hands. The worship service had many helping to prep and then provide a special time in praise of the Lord. If someone needed help carrying something or perhaps needed a chair or table moved so they could get into the pavilion, someone stepped up every time. People who could use a little assistance getting a plate full of food never had to look far as there was always a loving person offering a hand. It was wonderful to watch as fifty-five caring people followed the lead of Christ as they served one another with smiles on their faces. Each of these acts was a miracle unto itself, provided by those who follow the Maker of All Miracles.

To all of you, I want to say thank you. This wonderful outing where we all came together will be a cherished memory for me for the rest of my life as I hope it will yours. You truly are a wonderful church family and the love that flowed from you yesterday was nothing short of miraculous. I pray that all people on earth could one day witness and then forever share the level of fellowship and kindness that was demonstrated at our church picnic. It was so much fun!

May the miracles and memories continue,

Greg
