Bless The Sweet Little Critters

Good morning! June has arrived with farmers in the field, hot weather and summer celebrations!

I think in a past life my husband was at the very least a relative of Johnny Appleseed because every year or so we plant & re-plant trees. Recently we planted another 250 and with this hot windy weather we can’t water them enough. The rabbits are a challenge too, bless the sweet little critters.

This past weekend the Harrisburg Community Church held a pot luck dinner and enjoyed great food, friends and conversation. Soon they will be having Vacation Bible School for everyone between the ages K-6th grade. This year the theme is “ Rocky Railway” ( Jesus’ Power Pulls Us Through!) Kids will enjoy learning with snacks and games and everyone is invited!

We are sorry to hear of the passing away of Marsha McGowan. Our sympathy goes out to the family.

Anniversary couples this week include: Mr. & Mrs. Brad Brown, Bob Post, Jay Peterson, Dustin Lind, Marvin Thompson, Dave Mowers, and Tyler Krager. Congratulations!

Happy Happy Birthday to Karen Valdes, Helen Hein, Robby Cross, Curtis Grubbs, Tyler Darnall, Brenton Soule, Kadin Lee Smith, Ashley Willats, Roger McGowan IV, Shawna Harrison and Billie Anne Brown.

Our weekly celebration also includes Father’s Day, Sunday, June 20th . So, enjoy!
