​Hi Everyone!                                                June 13, 2024
The moving truck is here taking the Community Closet to its new location. I’m sad about this for a couple of reasons. I have loved having community people in and out all morning walking out feeling better than when they walked in. And maybe most of all I loved getting to know Mike and Bonnie’s daughter Teresa better. It will be lonelier around here for sure. The Community Closet’s new location is in the administrative offices for Payette School District. The building is on Center Ave that used to be Eastside Elementary.
Here's a big thank you from the Trustee Committee to everyone who helped spruce up the church inside and out this spring. If you still plan to accomplish your task that’s fine and if you didn’t get a chance to help, never fear.. we’ll do it again in the fall.  
Some of you might have missed Shane Wright sporting a new gold medal around his neck on Sunday! His basketball team took first place in Special Olympics in Caldwell last Saturday. Tell Shane congrats if you get a chance.
James and Pastor Mary Beth are back in Idaho where they belong. From all accounts they had a great time in Ohio and were able to meet with family and friends. Our pastor will be back in the pulpit this Sunday and James will be on his guitar! Welcome home!
Don’t forget about the golf tournament on Tuesday, June 25th!
We received an invitation to a concert Stars and Stripes featuring the Liberty Quartet. It will be on June 30th at 6:00 p.m. at Valley Shepherd Nazarene Church in Meridian. I posted the invitation on the bulletin board.
I have an update on the Parsons’ grandson John following his accident last week. He had his last surgery and is breathing unassisted. All of his injuries will require time to heal on their own. He will be moving to rehab soon to continue his healing journey. The whole Parsons family thanks everyone for all of the prayers. Keep the prayers coming because his will be a long journey.
We have a new urgent prayer request. Danny’s mom Karen has been admitted to the hospital for low oxygen levels and problems with kidney function. Please keep Danny and his dad Joe along with the whole family in your prayers.
Lyna Wilkins asks that we keep praying for her friend Peggy Roach. She is fighting cancer.
Keep these folks on your prayer list: Ron and Brenda Pennington, Peyton, Irene Jeffries, Jerry Hall, Hugh Homan, Anne DeBord, Jill Hanigan, Lis Williamson, Clarity, Noah Howard, Grace Hammon and the Taylor Family.
Thanks to everyone for praying for my family as we had the graveside service on Saturday for my sister’s husband Bill. Everything went well and we were all glad to be together. My nephew Rick and his family are traveling back to St. Louis this week so keep them in your prayers.
We are all blessed today with the gift of life. Thank God and let’s make something good today. Help others who need it. Think of others who are less fortunate. One positive thought can change your whole day!
We hope to see you in church on Sunday. Let’s fill the pews!
Blessings,
Cris
