Going Home?

Although Karen and I have been in Cincinnati for 40 years we still refer to southern Illinois as "home". It is not really where our hearts are located for that organ beats for Cincinnati and the family, friends and fellowship we have here. However, our memories of childhood are still in Jefferson and Perry Counties.

This is a big weekend. David Fields is being Ordained to the Gospel Ministry at Grace Community Church in Mt. Vernon. I have provided some "Oversight" and counsel to the Elders and Pastors there for many years. Now we are launching not only David but a new era in ministry for that region. I am also transferring my "Mantle" so this ends my responsibility but not my love for the church.

Tom Smith has been Pastor for at least ten years and Grace Church has provided much of the reality of its name for many people. The preaching is rich, the worship powerful and the healing real. If you are therabouts, come and see what God is doing on North Route 37 and you will be blessed.

MANY BLESSINGS!
