60th birthday Ladies

Sunday the 18th we attended a party for Peggy and Sandi (home Bible study members) and it was wonderful. The day was fairly warm but more than 50 people came to celebrate in a backyard bash. Mark played his electric guitar and sang "oldies but goodies" as some did a little dancing. Frank and Allen grilled the meat (very tasty guys) and it was just plain fun. The mango cake was great as were the stuffed dates (thanks Chris). Sad to say this will be the last gathering for Jo and Mike as they are moving to Phoenix in June, bless you as you relocate.

Colleen Thaxton takes center stage!

This morning we attended service at Pasadena Covenant Church to hear the Kids musical, directed by Ashley Thaxton. I was on staff at PCC in the 90s and a member of the church. Charlie Barker announced his resignation last week so it was good to be with the group and encourage he and Katie, after 27 years ministry. Yes, we were so proud of Colleen as she sang a solo and held a key role as Mrs. Noah!

Luau at Rich and Phyllis Mouw's home

For lunch Dr. Mouw invited faculty and staff who had supported FTS in the last year, to enjoy a Hawaiian type luau at this home. It was a perfect day for sitting around the pool and a relaxing lunch. Here is Lee Merrit, Dan and I, and a shot of Mouws opening a fun gift and then Dr. Mouw praying for all of us to be blessed and we continue to serve the Lord.
