AMBASSADORS
Adult Bible Fellowship

Saturday, April 28th, we had a wonderful time together and with several of our missionaries. Although this event was primarily meant to give everyone a chance to greet Larry and Bev Smith, home from Nicaragua; we also entertained the Nicaragua Mission Team plus Dave and Sue Dernlan and Polly Strong. I think everyone will agree that we had a great time of fellowship. There were about 60 of us crowded into Dave and Karen Darkow's home on both levels and on the deck and patio. We are including several photos for your enjoyment. The really good ones are held out for sometime appropriate for blackmail! The food was outstanding ---- and plentyful! We will be back to our normal location and schedule next Sunday. Be sure to join us!

It is difficult to believe that Ray and Laura have been married for 50 years! Their daughter arranged a surprise party which I almost messed up. I sent the final reminder for the party via email to our email list and forgot to delete their name. Fortunately, they were having computer problems and their alert son-in-law caught and deleted my email before they saw it. Ray and Laura arrived thinking they were there to celebrate the birthday of a good friend of many of us. However, Ray noticed many friends in attendance who were not mutual friends. Dan is not a motorcyclist! Can you detect that Oh, OH, look on Ray's face? Surprise!!!!! What would a celebration be without cake. I don't think this one was the same as what they had for their wedding but Ray also didn't make a mess with it! :-) Notice that Laura is holding his arm to keep him from messing with the cake! No, actually it is a touching moment. Congratulations to the two of you.

This week we've added a link to the message Dennis did for the Cedarville Chapel last Thursday. It is about "The Ethics of Homosexuality" . We will add some material from his discussion Sunday morning later this week. Remember, you are welcome to leave comments on the Blog. This Sunday we had 52 in class. We had two visitors; Georgene and Hilma. Be sure to welcome them when you see them again. We still have some of our group away but some will be returning within the next week or two. PRAYER ITEMS Don R's mother died last night. She is with our Lord but pray for the family. Lynn P updated us that the small child (niece of friend) is improving and should develop normally. Praise the Lord for answered prayer! We also received a message from the Nims that their grandson, Shaun, is improving and does not need immediate surgery. Pray for continued improvements and that the necessary surgery will go well. Paul B asked for prayer concerning a family forgiveness issue. Also,...
