Buenos Dias! Greetings from Mexico! We are enjoying ourselves here in Mexico with our family. It is always good to get away for awhile & get better acquainted with the people that mean the most to you! Libby and I have traveled to Mexico each year for several years now, but we will miss seeing you at church for the next couple weeks. One of the reasons we enjoy Mexico so much is, not only family time, but all that dietary Mexican food! Next time you see me, I will look like a walking blimp. I look forward to seeing you on April 5th.

Pastor Bob

“My House Will Be Called A House Of Prayer” Isaiah 56:7 Thank the Lord for His redemption and blessing. “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.’ He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.” Galatians 3:13-14
