Our July meeting was very productive as we planned for the August 12th Strawberry Social and bake sale. Because of the price increase for the berries, it was decided that we should increase the prices on our menu by fifty cents for each choice. Each of the ladies have volunteered to contribute the ice cream or sugar, and biscuits ( Leona’s thank goodness).
As other years, we will gather at 1 o’clock on Wednesday, August 10th, to set up for the bake sale and social, Thursday being reserved for baking! We welcome any and all additional workers either Wednesday and/or Friday. On Friday we gather at 3 o’clock. Also, any contributions for the bake sale or garden “goodies” will be greatly appreciated!
Come all for a delicious summer gathering. Every year for many years, except one due to Covid, this day has gathered people from all over for fellowship and treats. May this tradition continue for many more years.
Thoughts
Found this in a book (of many books) given to me by Dave Moore, a mentor and friend to me for many years – Pastor Gary
I asked the Lord for a bunch of flowers but instead He gave me an ugly cactus with many thorns.
I asked the Lord for some beautiful butterflies but instead He gave me many ugly and dreadful worms.
I was threatened.
I was disappointed.
I mourned.
But after many days, suddenly, I saw the cactus bloom with many flowers and the worms became beautiful butterflies flying in the wind.
God’s way is the best way.

Mindful Christianity
Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people.
A heart that forgives the worst.
A mind that forgets the bad.
And a soul that never loses faith in God.
