Happy Easter; happy spring; happy happy everything! Happy April - it's spring. ..This has been a busy week for me and a tiring one.

Dr. Dupree's sermon was "It's Towel Time in the Church," taken from John. We had a good number and some visitors from all over - Australia, Ohio, The Ukraine, Atlanta, Warner Robins, and Appling. The flowers, some from the wedding, were beautiful and added much to the service. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Mobley placed the other flowers in the church. A fellowship meal was held after the sermon.
