In addition to Pastor Appreciation Sunday, First UMC was alive with activity and the blessings were showering down from sunrise to deep into the October night.
Prayer shawls were blessed at the 8:00 a.m. service. Two of them were given at the 10:00 a.m. service. The first was to Phyl Holmead who shared with the congregation that she has been called as the interim pastor of a church in Kearney, beginning in November. The second shawl was presented to Martha Walker who was recognized for being a member of our church for 80 years.
Our children blessed us with music at the 10:00 a.m. service. There was joy all around, before - during - and after the service. What a blessing the children and their leaders are!
It was a fantastic day, and the week to come promises to be another exciting one in the Kingdom: Praise be to God!
