“As pressure and stress bear down on me,
I find joy in your commands”
Psalm 119:144
The pressure was on to say the least and God was with us all the way.
The Ordination and Installation of Pastor Boyle was my first Ordination and one that will not be forgotten. If you attended you are filled up with the Holy Spirit and the afterglow is hanging on. Do not throw away the order of service program. There is so much in there to read and digest. Look on the margins and read those messages.
Thanks to all the committees that worked so hard to make this day a memorable and pleasing day to our Lord and Savior. I wish to personally thank everyone that participated in the planning and then the carrying out of each persons duties. It truly was a team effort, and it was so good to see everyone plugged into the same cause. Thank you to those who didn’t serve on any particular committee but worded so hard to beautify our church yard and the inside facility. We want to thank Janet Crosby and all the ladies from St. Andrews who so graciously served and cleaned up our kitchen for the ordination dinner. Thank you Janet, Lori Casey, Terry Olin, Linda Sloan, Melissa Duncan and LaVeta Dougherty.
We have a beautiful House of Worship, and now we have a Shepherd to lead us in worship and study. We are truly blessed. We give all the glory to our Lord and Savior. LWML did not meet in the month of August, nevertheless we were busy. The coming month of September will be a busy month.
The tub is out for soap and we thank you for supporting that project. The Health Kits will be assembled and packed at our September meeting (September 20). The date for pick up at St. Andrews is Tuesday, October 5.

We are so thankful for the new cabinet in the Narthex. It is beautiful and enhances our Narthex. Thank you for building it.
We are also thankful for all the new signs above the doors and those that direct us to places within the church. Thank you.
We thank Susan for all the extra time and energy spent this month.
Now for a bit of Trivia: Have you noticed the Cross that hangs above the ?serve through? window in the Fellowship Hall/gym? It has been there for three years or more. Who made it? Where did the wood come from that forms it? Do you know?? Answers next month.
And now we are partner sisters and brothers in the faith with Trinity. Let us remember them in our prayers and strive to work together.
We are few however, with the help of our Lord, we are mighty!
Your Servant in Christ,
Audrey Rolf
