Weekend Update

It's been a fast paced week here at Grandview. I haven't made time for blogging.

Rex has surgery today. If you get the chance, please pray that they will get all of the cancer.

One of the dear ladies in our church died this week, she was almost 98. A fine lady, Thelma and her husband were missionaries to Italy immediately following World War II. The fruit of their ministry was obvious at the funeral. One of their "Timothys," Gioele Sittembrini, gave the funeral message in word and song. He has a fantastic opera/tenor voice. On Sunday night the Milligan College Concert Choir graced Grandview with a wonderful performance. Our own Joel Buckner was the accompaniest for their tour of the southeast. Afterwards they enjoyed a nice supper in our foyer/fellowship hall (maybe the fellowship hall will be ready soon? Two months? ).
The week has been made busier because I began teaching Christ and Culture at Milligan on Tuesday night. It's the biggest class I've had (23 students). It seems like a good group. We're in the long haul portion of my calendar. Between teaching, Lent/Easter, normal ministry issues, trying to get started on the planning for a third service, and doing what we can to facilitate getting out into our community for service and relationship building I may not be blogging much.

Peace!

One more pic ... this is just the first service prep on Sunday morning.

Wow, a third service- that's a big commitment for everyone at Grandview, but it's exciting that you're in need of one!
