Sixty-six congregants heard Pastor Steve Traw’s message, “John—The Beloved Apostle,” taken from John 1:1-14.  

John introduces Jesus as the Word or Logos (John 1-1). In Genesis 1:1, Jesus Christ is identified as the logos that existed with God from the beginning of creation.

Pianist, Myrna Wildschuetz played “Wake the Song” for the prelude and “Touched by the Hand of the Lord” for the offertory.   

David and Phyllis Loomis celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Sunday, June 20. All their children and grandchildren were present to commemorate Father’s Day and their parent’s 50th anniversary.  Their 17 grandchildren stood in a row in front of the congregation and each recited their portion of the 23rd Psalm. Also, two grandsons helped grandpa with the offertory.

The Masons and their spouses were special guests at last week’s morning services.

Fathers recognized in the following categories were: Oldest (David Ensminger at 90.5 years old); youngest (Chad Grisier); most children (Justin Der with 9 children); meanest father (George Grisier).

Rita Sanders played a piano solo “Down to the River to Pray.”

The Church Fellowship Dinner followed the morning services at noon.

Weekly Bible Study is Tuesdays at 3 p.m. with Pastor Steve.
