Grace and Peace be with you all in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ!
I hope that you are all well and healthy. Our church services lately have been blessedly "full." Ever since we re-opened our doors for public worship, we have held steady in attendance every week, always about 22 or 21 people. Another sign that we missed each other!
Also, we had a little gathering for game night on Friday evening. We'd like to do another one in the near future. All that we ask is that when we attend such events, we practice safe distancing and wear protective gear when sitting close to each other.
We enjoyed a visitor by the name of Jerry Partin, a former Rattler, who is considering moving back here from California. Please think of him in your prayers as he discerns his next step in life.
Monday, July 6, Green Chile Gals will resume gathering after work. All ladies of the church are invited to join us in Fellowship Hall for a little potluck style meal. Hope you can make it!
This day in history... did you know this day in 1995, the US Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the Russian space station Mir? They formed the largest human-made satellite in history on that day. The Americans brought them flowers, chocolate and fruit and the Russians greeted them with traditional Russian bread and salt. I have often thought about the troubles and turmoil of this world, where we are seeing division and hatred. It seems to me that in the serious worlds of science and exploration, we have examples of persons who look past their differences in the name of something much greater - knowledge. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history
Raymond Martinez Service: Thanks to everyone who attended/helped/hugged/delivered food/donated funds so that we could lay Raymond to rest. Susie and Teresa will need our long-term love and prayers, but so far they are taking things "Un Dia de la Vez" - For a link to the song (in Spanish), which I talked about during the service, you can go here. https://youtu.be/jqax102ubds
