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″.
