DOGWOOD ACRES, 10/12/09, ELANE CRUM
Hello friends. Sunday was a day of homecoming, dedication and celebration. The walls of Lone Star Church were bursting as families of the community gathered in to remember and shared the worship time with those who meet there every Sunday morning.
It was a precious time as the longtime faith of older ones and newfound faith of younger ones blended into a time of encouragement.
The Crum, Stolpe, Lathrope, Essary and Hammond family cousins enjoyed their time together. Debbie Lathrope came from Kansas City to stay a few days with us and to be here for the homecoming. Karen Essary, daughter of Ernie and Ruby (Crum) Essary, was another cousin that we had not seen for many years.
After the huge potluck meal, Rick and I slipped away and went to Taneyville for the dedication service at Taneyville Community Church. Their new building is beautiful and filled with love and the presence of the Lord. It was almost like a homecoming for us too as we saw many old friends.
My time for writing news this week is short and my memory and powers of concentration are even shorter, so will say Bye for now.
