Today was the last Sunday for Herb to be our pastor. He is officially retiring and we will have a new pastor next week. Luckily we know the new one, Max Whipple. He is our Farm Bureau insurance agent. Herb and Leora have been such a blessing to our church. They are great examples for us to follow and have become part of our church family.
Lorena taught Emily and Katie a song in sign language and they did that for special music today. Lorena played the piano and sang while they signed. It was really pretty! We plan on learning sign language this year in school. They are excited to get started.
Herb then had an excellent message. He talked about how stories of faith help people in tough circumstances. Those stories that have been passed down are sources of strength and hope. What kind of stories are we telling our children? Are we letting the TV or society tell the stories or are we directing them to the truths of God? Something to think about.
Since it was the first Sunday of the month, we had dinner after church. We had a great meal and even better fellowship with Herb and Leora.
It was a wonderful day!
