work of the church takes a lot of people doing lots of different jobs;

appreciate each one.

The message was from Matthew, "Hear the Word, Speak the Word,
Do the Word." We had a dinner immediately following the morning
service and the food was delicious. Some of the best cooks inthe
world come to Mehan. We are blessed!
In the afternoon, we had a special time of music with the Wednes-
day Night Kids, Donnio & Carrie Hoffman, The Bastions, Resur-
rection, Leroy Anderson and Josh & Lynn Thompson. And then we
had a reception with gifts and two beautiful cakes done by Brenda
Dale. Thanks to everybody for everything!
Sunday morning the 20th, Dave & Kristen Hart are going to be
with us for the morning praise and worship. Lynn Thompson will
be singing and Lori and Skip Pettus will be bringing their newest,
Colby, for a baby dedication. We are looking forward to being able
to worship together again.
Sunday evening, the youth group will be having a special time of
celebration with an ice cream social - Banana Split Special begin-
ning at 5:30. After the social they will be watching On Thin Ice in
the youth chapel. Everyone is invited - and bring a friend!
• In the evening worship service we will be having a special baptis-
real service. Have you made a decision for Jesus? And has He spo-
ken to you about following Him in water baptism? Sunday night
service begins at 7:30.
We have twenty men from Mehan going to Promise Keepers in
Dallas on the 24 & 25. We are looking forward to going with Max
and Eden Chapel/Lost Creek. It is exciting what God is doing! And
we are so thankful just to be able to be a part of it. Love, Larry.
