Friends,

Thank you for letting me go visit Black River Presbyterian Church this Sunday.  The congregation is small, but they and their church building are charming.  After worship, I joined them in their fellowship hall for a covered dish dinner that included many vegetables grown in their gardens.  It was a blessing.

See you all Sunday!

Emile
