Good Samaritan Class Picnic
Thursday, June 23rd at 6:00 p.m.
Blue Spruce Park

***

During the month of May the class has been enjoying the class by Pastor Greg. We
studied the Resurrection Story as told by each of the four Gospels.

It's good to welcome back Pat from the southland. I believe all are now back in
the fold.

We continue to think of Vi's son-in-law in our prayers as he continues to suffer
with cancer.

We very much miss Jane B. She's such a kind, smiling addition to the class and
we pray she'll soon be feeling much better.

The following article from Kay and Woody S will make all of us long to go with
them next year.

"Consider the following package: golf, live shows, picnics by the lake, dinners,dances, Bible study, choir - two praise team practices, chorus participation (45 members), parties by streets, House Blest mission project weekly. The previous events are constant from December to April. There is no end to the activities one can choose to be involved with in our park. Our church in Haines City is joining with the U.M. Church in Davenport. The new name is New Horizon. We have two new pastors: Sarah Miller and Pam Childer. A high point is the church is growing. At our Christmas Cantata I got to sing in a choir with eight tenors (what a joy!). Kay & I meet Ed Downey and wife, Wanda, for lunch once a week. He leads our Bible Class. They are special people and Ed has a great sense of humor. Our park church is now incorporated under the New Horizon church. It is called The Lord's Church at Lake Henry. This church is alive and well. God has caused this church to be a blessing to our community. It cares for and nurtures the entire park community as well as giving to mission projects outside the park community.The past Easter sunrise service was attended by 140 folks. Above and beyond the above - the new relationships, excursions, SUNSHINE, and visits from family add to the joy we have down south."

Our May class meeting was moved from May 17 to May 24 so that the ladies could attend
the Sue Duffield service. Twenty-two people attended the class meeting. Devotions were led by Marian B and refreshments were served by Wilma C and Ted and Louise D. As always, the
fellowship was special. Special prayers were prayed for Fred B and Ruth Ann H.

The June class meeting will be a covered dish picnic on Thursday, June 23rd at Blue Spruce Park at 6:00 p.m.

God never gives up on anyone. What a great realization!
