back from the beach

This is my work blog, but I can't resist showing this pic from the weekend away on Long Island.

I'm refreshed and ready to hit the ground running on Wednesday.

pounding on the beach

No singing and no Zion at 9 o'clock this morning. Just the eternal chorus of the ocean pounding the beach. They say it's stronger than usual because of a storm in Burmuda.

I'll look at the dvd of the service I missed when I return.

Dorcas and I are fine. I'll add a photo as soon as I return

flute duet

There's more this Sunday. I'm missing so much I don't know why my vacation has to be this week. Two wonderful flute duets will be played by Joyce Price and Kay Kehs, accompanied by Gail Ryan on piano.

Baust is back

Tom Baust will be at church this Sunday, July 13. We welcome him back. Since he graduated from Moody Bible Institute he has worked as a full-time musician in piano, voice, and arranging.

You can check his web site at www.tombaust.com

Since he's more comfortable with the piano I've asked him to focus his leadership on the piano.

I will be at the beach this Sunday for R&R with Dorcas and the children.

10 men can sing

Yesterday 10 men sang two men's chorus pieces in the worship service--"Great is thy faithfulness" and "Wayfarin' stranger."

Wow! Ask someone if you didn't hear it. I was so pleased with their musicianship and dedication to God.

Thanks to Nancy, too, at the piano. And thanks to the people who said thanks after the service.
