Not Your Ordinary Saturday

Ruth called me around 7:30 this morning with the sad news that Tim's mom, Mary, died about 4:00. While Mary's health has not been very good over the last year and she has had some trouble with oxygen levels, she had been doing pretty well recently, so this was pretty unexpected.

At 11:00 we had a wedding at church. Joe and Shawna, two or our young adults, tied the knot with Kyle doing the honors. Virginia and I ran the sound and lights. It was a small wedding and Kyle did a good job, especially for his first. The family put together a nice reception for the invitees that included grilled meet.

VJ and I then went over to Ruth and Tim's house just to visit and hear a few stories about Mary. it's a sad time, but they'll do OK.

Today is also the annual Relay for Life to raise funds for cancer research. You can even donate to our team on-line if you would like. It's really hot today, supposed to reach 104 here, so all the walkers will need to stay hydrated. VJ and I are supposed to walk from 6:00 to 8:00, so it should be at least past the hottest part of the day. Don't know how my Achilles will stand up... will just have to take it easy and see how it goes. For now I'm just resting it.

Tomorrow is a special combined worship assembly with Delta Bay. Beginning in July they will be meeting at a new rented space at the Prewett Water Park, so this will be a time of honoring the time they've been with us and rejoicing and blessing for them as they go forward. It should be a God day.
