The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Honeymoon Alone: On a visit to my wife's native England for our honeymoon, we arrived at London's Gatwick Airport. Tania headed for the British passport control line while I, an American, waited in the foreigners' line. When my turn came, the customs officer asked me the purpose of my visit. "Pleasure," I replied. "I'm on my honeymoon." The officer looked first to one side of me, then the other. "That's very interesting, sir," he said as he stamped my passport. "Most men bring their wives with them."
  • Johnnie Jackson has offered to teach the adult class for Greg next Sunday so he can have a break after Tim and Christa’s wedding. We greatly appreciate Johnnie’s gracious kindness in helping. Greg will handle the worship service.
  • This coming Friday night the rehearsal dinner for Tim and Christa’s wedding will be at the church. We need to move the pews after the service today; if you are able to help with moving the pews back after the dinner see Greg.
  • I have e-mailed the landlord and asked him for the lease figures for the coming year. As soon as I have the information we will schedule a meeting to discuss it. Since we first discussed this change the finances have been going well, so things are looking good at this time.
