Page 14, March 11,2019, The Islander News for Local Churches From The Church Bulletins Fifth annual Jewish Food and Culture Festival set for downtown Brunswick ITews I have been re minded of the great joy and blessing of long time friend ships this past three weeks with the visit of friend Sue Hart from Spokane. She runs away from the snow each winter to come to the land of sunshine and this year got to see the beginning of Spring flowers - even though the pollen almost got to her. We met Sue and Harry at Jack sonville First Baptist Church in 1960 and our friendship just grew more precious over these almost 60 years as they moved around the country many times, and we just traveled to wherever they were or they came to St. Simons almost once a year. We are blessed with many sweet memories of times together and the assurance that Harry is just watching and waiting in Heaven for us to join him. Those comments are made to re mind each of us that church friends are God’s gift to us as we serve Him to gether - laugh together - cry together - comfort in sad times - rejoice in the happy times - together. St. Simons United Methodist Church extends congratulations to Pat Walker in the birth of her grand son, Grant Burgess Swafford, son of Lee and Ginny Swafford. Member Jeanne Pleasants died March 3. This year the United Methodist Women or ganization is celebrating 150 years of worship, service and fellowship. Wesley United Methodist Church at Frederica extends sym pathy to the family of Sue Hensen. Sympathy is also expressed to Rev. Dr. Wright Culpepper in the death of his mother in Forsyth, GA. Brunswick Christian Renewal Church extends sympathy to Sha ron Foster and family in the passing away of her Father Larmar Bell of Waycross. Altar flowers at Brunswick First United Methodist Church were given by Steve and Deborah Williams in celebration of their 35th wedding anniversary. The spring flowers - especially the dogwood - remind us that Easter Sun day is almost here. We will sing the songs of Easter - we will celebrate the new eternal life we have because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Let your heart be filled - today and every day - with that joy.
