Happy weekend, friends! It’s been another busy, loaded, well worth sharing kind of a week. So in case you missed anything, here’s what it looked like:
- Arts in the Garden (the best photos! well worth a second look).
- Alive to all that is Right and Good (includes a link to Rebekah’s message)
- Not Just Looking, but Seeing (some gems in our neighborhood)
- 99 and More (golf, friendship and humility!)
- 30 Images that Tell the Story (a photographic journey through April)
- Standing on God’s Promises (not “sitting on the premises”)
- Golden Evening and Early Morning Mist (a study in light)
Good Friends and Good Vibes:
Just as lotions and fragrance give sensual delight,
a sweet friendship refreshes the soul. – Proverbs 27:9
Today I have a few random images to share that did not fit the other posts.
First, our great friend Margie and her youngest, Amy stopped by for dinner and overnight. We took them to On the Square and enjoyed a most amazing meal together.
We first knew Margie when she was a Navy pilot training in Pensacola and Rebekah served at Trinity Presbyterian. Now Amy is a midshipman and absolutely “kicking it” at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. It’s always a treat to catch up and especially to hear how wonderfully accomplished Margie’s three children are.
Video Blogs at HMPC:
One interesting aspect of our ongoing 150th celebration is an “in-progress” series of videos posted at the church website, featuring interviews with longtime members telling the inspirational story of this congregation.
One of our young adults, Ann Margaret Taylor, is shooting and editing the footage. So I grabbed a couple of candid shots of the action.
The videos – and there will likely be a couple of dozen by the end of the year – are a valuable resource, a witness to faithfulness full with interesting and memorable stories.
And more…
The balance of the images below include Rebekah scratching her art itch (thanks, Anna Vaughn, for the amazing work), Rebekah and the elders receiving new members, and Max – very proud of his new haircut from “Pup Kisses” here in Tarboro.
I pray that you all have an amazing weekend. And don’t forget to come to church Sunday at 11:00. The rededication of the sanctuary – and the new carillon – will be a meaningful service of worship.
Peace, and more peace – DEREK
