I hope everyone had a good week and no health problems. Again Sunday at Beulah we had another great service. Everyone’s heart was touched when we saw Roger Parker and his wife Mary at church. Roger was in his wheelchair but still greeted everyone with a big smile. He sat at the front door greeting people as they entered for awhile also. His job, no not his job but a service he decided he wanted to do for several years was to shake hands with everyone as they entered the front door. We always looked forward to seeing him there. Welcome back, Roger and Mary, who always smiles also.
