Okay, first I want to share the picture from last time that never made it to my blog. This is a picture of a tree between the church building and the office. It shows the Easter Lillie's from 2008 that were used to make the lawn cross. Bea donated them in memory of her mother and Robert planted them. Now when Bea comes to work she can see them and remember her mom. And the rest of us can enjoy them as well. Even more are in bloom since I took this picture last week and when I walked over there this morning what a lovely smell. So the question is, Why do Easter Lillie's bloom after Easter? At least the ones we plant in our yards?
Let's get some answers to that question going. My guess is that like the poinsettia's we use at Christmas, professional grower's do certain things to help them bloom earlier to coincide with the holiday. If that's not why please let me know.
Yesterday Uncle Sonny and I went to Montgomery to minister at New Hope MCC. He sang and I preached and we had a good time. That congregation sends their greetings and thanks for all of the help Holy Cross has been to them over the last six months. A number of them will be joining us for our Regional Gathering next month.
All energy must now be devoted to preparation for Memorial Day Weekend. Our early service will be at the pavilion at Pensacola Beach. Our 11am service will include the re dedication of the Christ window. So pick at least one to attend and I'll see you Sunday. Also we still need volunteers for the beach on Friday and Saturday. Please let us know if you can help.
Have a blessed week.
