Bilda's has offered to donate 15% of the evenings proceeds to help us with the funds needed for the November 6th, 2010 Packathon at Menomonee Falls High School.

Bilda's offers a wide variety of delicious pub food and their pizza is out of this world.

We would also appreciate any non-perishable food items that evening too so we can help feed the hungry bellies right in our own communities.

Returning To TZ!!

I am humbled, honored and blessed to be able to return to Tanzania in August!! Upon my return visit, I would like to take 6-10 prayer shawls with me when I go. I will be working and visiting with the lepers and would like to present them with these blankets of comfort! If you and anyone you know would like to donate a prayer shawl, please send them to me before August 10th.

Mail them to:

Blessings Continue...

Being asked to speak and encourage the youth of First United Methodist church today was such a blessing. There were so many things that I saw the children learning! As I read them my favorite story from the bible about how one man received a calling to do something so miraculous and without any hesitation he "jumped in" because he knew it was the right thing to do! My friend Reverend Amy took that "bold move" too by becoming a Reverend not in the beginning of her life but in the "middle" part of her life!!! She has taken a step of reaching out locally with all different groups of people both young and old and Amy and I have found a common thread that has woven us together ~ What a Blessing!!

The people at First United Methodist so warmly welcomed me and my oldest daughter Libby to their church. As Reverend Amy and I did the children's sermon, it became apparent that not only the children were listening but everyone in the whole entire congregation was too!!

After service we were greeting with many warm hugs and thanks for listening to this calling. I hope I have shown others that being "just a normal person" with God's help we can reach out and change lives both here and abroad!!!

I am so Thankful for this partnership with 1st UMC!!! You are truly a wonderfully caring congregation and I appreciate all of your prayers for my continued growth in this calling.

Congrats Reverend Amy on your huge accomplishment and May God Bless YOU Always!!

Until next time~

Cheers!
