Hi everyone:

Yesterday we had 11 people worshipping with us at the Boonsville Community Center.  It was a very nice service, with music/hymns and all.  We are incorporating intercessory prayer at  the proper spot in the prayer book to pray for those with special needs, for those who have died, and also prayers of thanksgiving for our many blessings.  Two special women were  there on Sunday, one is a recent lung transplant recipient, and the other survived a horrible, horrible car wreck some years back.  Then when you think of all the medical problems Mark has been through with his amputations, strokes and seizures, along with my own medical near death experience, Mark likes to say, “there are 4 miracles in this room today.”   And, people say that God does not perform miracles today.  Yes, He does, and we are witnesses to them.  When you witness miracles, you must “go and tell……….”  The women at Jesus’ tomb didn’t go to tell the disciples that their Lord had risen.  But, we today go forth and tell of the miracles we have seen.

God has been so very good to us and has placed all the right people in our path so that our little Episcopal Church of Wise County will prosper and grow.  We thank each and every one of you for your support, love, gifts, and prayers.  We feel the prayers and are blessed.

Thank you and God bless.

Love,

For His Sake,

Ellen
