Thank you so much everyone for coming and being together on Memorial Day! Everyone brought such amazing food and fellowship! Wished the wind would've died down! We had a great time anyway! Looking forward to more time to fellowship with everyone!

   Please be praying for

Jason Lovejoy- as he is deployed and his soon to be bride Kindra Faulkner -(Terri Faulkner's daughter) is ill with Lyme's disease-

John and Holly Anthony- He will be deployed soon and Holly with be going back to Oklahoma with their 2 young girls for the deployment.

   Carlos and Arlene Sepulveda- Carlos  left for Ft.Hood and will be traveling back and forth for a while. Arlene is not sure if they are all going yet to be with him.

   John and Eve DePree- He is going to be getting Paper Orders- Only us Military Folk understand what that will mean.

  Please Keep these Military Families in your prayers through all the transition we all understand. They need our love and encouragement as well.

Military Spouses!
There's a "Young Adult" Bunko evening on November 12 - please come! You ARE a young adult and you don't have to have a spouse or even a spouse with you to attend this totally fun event!
Hugs to you all!

Greetings all: When my son Dan deployed to Afghanistan, I put together some thoughts to share with my family. I'll try to post them here from time to time. I hope they are an encouragement to you.

Anyway, there’s a Bible verse that I thought was particularly appropriate for today:
Psalm 37:4-5
Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

I think this passage reminds us, first of all, that we live in a fallen and difficult world. The only good, sure thing that we can rely on is the Lord Himself. He is good and knows the burdens that are on our hearts. By keeping our hearts and minds focused on Him and on His word, our burden is lightened. He will remain faithful to our loved ones who are in harm's way and to us regardless, but He is pleased when we put our trust in Him.

“Father, we lift before You our beloved warrior, and acknowledge that he is totally in Your hands. The desire of our heart is that he will perform his duties faithfully and honorably, and then return to us safely. Teach us how to find delight in You, our Lord, as we walk the difficult path You have placed before us. Help us to commit our every moment to You and to trust You completely. In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray.”

Whatever you think! I'm behind you and ready to get together so that I can support you all.
Did the meet and greet following church work well as far as turn-out was concerned?
I can certainly open my house or we an meet at one of the coffee places or - with kids - at the McDonald's so they can play.
I would be open to meeting w/ you two in order to make a plan if that would help.

Just tell me when and where. Also, Jennifer you know i will help you with whatever :)

That would be awesome. I was thinking maybe we could do another meet and greet after church again, and I could work on some more publicity before summer starts? Would love to have help with this. What do you think?

Jennifer - I'm a spouse of a retired military member so I think that makes me a retired military spouse . . .
How can I help here? I can pray, listen, cook, commiserate, and who knows what else!
Hugs and blessings to you!

We are looking for other spouses and families to connect ecspecially during deployment, so that we can share and support each other in military life.

Please feel free to comment. I'm not sure what direction to go in here. I don't have a meet up place or where to start. I was thinking maybe a playgroup? Let me know if you are interested.
