| Sandy, Sue, Charles - some of our youth group. |
We enjoyed such a sweet reunion and celebrated our joy in the Lord this past weekend at Shepherd of the Valley in Corvallis, Oregon.Our Sunday evening concert was attended by kids from the youth group we led so many years ago (33). They have all grown up and raised children of their own. A number of them expressed how we had impacted their lives - we felt the same about each of them and their families. The Lord grafted those relationships into the True Vine, and we enjoy the growth and fruit of experience; a love for the Lord abides. Thanks be to God!

The evening ended with a baptism. Stacy Toy, had heard Dave speak a number of times these past few weeks, and has been prayerfully seeking the Lord's will for her life. After the concert, she asked if Dave would baptize her - a wonderful celebration. My heart is full of contented bliss that the Almighty God would see fit to grant me even more than I think to ask or desire. Awesome God.
I just had to include Sue's take on the evening -
Home after a wonderfully serendipitous reunion with a bunch of old friends! Great music, great fellowship, a great time! And Stacy, thanks so much for letting us be a part of your baptism tonight! It was such an honor! You've only known us for a few hours, and your stuck with us now !!
