It was so good to have Morris in curch yesterday and see him look so healthy and strong.  It looks like he’ll be back to his old self in no time.   Thank God for this answer to prayer.

The garden is looking good.  A lot of people have put time and effort into our first garden effort in several years.

We have a special opportunity to partner with our PFLAG group and show support for “Washington Families Standing Together’.   On the 4th of July we are asked to be a walking unit in the Go 4th parade.  We will be carrying signs and a banner asking people to support the “Decline 2, Sign Referendum 71″.

I’m  sure many of you already know that Morris Watson suffered a  stroke last Friday.  There is a lot of good news to report in this sad event.  It is so fortunate that Joy was with Morris when the stroke happened and she was able to get help for him.  He was taken to SW Washington hopital in Vancouver where he is making good recovery.  Joy reported yesterday that they expect to release Morris to go home on Tuesday.  Thanks for your continued prayers for Morris.

It is good to know that Sarah Cardigan ismaking a good recovery from knee replacement surgery a couple of weeks ago.  It will be good to have her back with us and pain free.

As you can see by the pictures the garden planting is happening this morning in our garden space.  If you want to get in on the fun I’m sure there is still time for others to get here and add your labor to the project.  Contact Pastor Jerry or John Polm  for specific  information on what needs to be done.
