Dear Ones:
Finally - I am taking the time to blog a little! Please notice that I put my last two sermons and the one Jim Watkins preached on the sermon blog. I spent last week-end in Mission Springs (our Women's Retreat) and had a most wonderful time seeing all my old friends and making a few new ones. It was sooo great having Erin Carver, Sharon LoForte, Laura Fife, and Marge Elsbury there also. Also there was another bonus for me, my sister and my oldest daughter were there and their rooms were right below ours. But I have now decided that I want a drum. We did drumming and it was so spirt lifting and fulfilling, I can't begin to tell you. I felt the things I was stressing out about just slipping off my shoulders. Now this is not a snare or bass drum. This is a drum that is not loud, but has such a tone that is so soothing. Anyway, that is my next purchase - a drum. Have you ever heard 200 plus women singing at the same time? Oh - it was stupendous!!! I just quit singing to listen. Especially when the pianist quit. We were singing All Creatures of Our God and King, and the Alleluias were amazing. You can tell I really enjoyed myself, right? Thanks for the opportunity to go.
Love, Pastor Vi
Hello Dear Ones:
Finally - I am taking time to write on the blog for you. This past week-end I was in Mission Springs at our Church Women's Retreat. And I have decided I want a drum. I had such fun drumming. It is so relaxing and you can feel the very spirit of God come in to you thru the drum. Now this is not a snare drum - it is not loud, but very musical. (for want of a better word) I so enjoyed Erin, Sharon, Laura, and Marge who went with me. I also had the joy of beomg with my sister and my oldest daughter Janie too. Have you ever heard 200 plus women sing - it was fantastic. You know how much I love to sing, well I just shut up and listened it was sooo beautiful. Thank you for the opportunity to go!
Well we are busy getting our "Living Nativity" going. The first committe meeting for it is Wednesday the 22nd at 6:00 p.m.
Love, Pastor Vi
