From Our Pastor

Three senior adults were talking one day when one said to the other, “You know when I stand in front of a mirror, I can’t remember if I am getting dressed or undressed.”  The other one said, “Well when I get in my car, I can’t remember if I am going somewhere or coming back from somewhere.  “The other one said, “Well nothing like that has ever happened to me, knock on wood. Excuse me while I go answer the door!”
 
Isn’t it wonderful that God has given us a memory?  Today, as we take the Lord’s Supper…we remember.
