Thanks - from Bob & Vi
To our Dear Bethesda Family,
Thank you so much for celebrating with us on Sunday, May 23, in the beautiful new garage. Our children really did a good job. The Pig Roast was so good and the dressing, yum - and all the wonderful desserts! Couldn’t have been better.
To think I had polio when I was 13 months old and wore laced high shoes to school and I was the last one chosen to be on the baseball team. Well, with God’s help, I persevered and I can do all but water ski - I tried so hard but all I did was fill up with water.
We want you all to know we enjoyed our work at Bethesda. 26 years ago we bought 212 Shaw Street to walk over, but guess what - we’re driving over now.
Throughout the 60 years we knew the heartbeat of the church - from the books and counting Sunday offerings, and we realized the more given, the more comes back in return. God has blessed Bob and I with good health and the drive to do our best. For each and every one of you, trust God and lean on him for wisdom and direction.
Thank you for the gifts and cards - very heartwarming. God loves you and so do we.
Love, Bob & Vi (Grindle)
