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.
