PASTOR'S MESSAGE AND HERITAGE HAPPENINGS FOR MAY 26

The Rev. Helen Kester and her husband, Hal, were in church last Sunday.  They have been visiting Heritage having bought a home nearby and plan to move to the valley when Helen retires at the end of this year.  (Hal attended the men’s fellowship earlier this month at Dubina’s).  After worship, Helen offered to be pulpit supply for this Sunday.  She is a PC(USA) pastor serving a church in Pennsylvania.  Please welcome Helen and Hal this Sunday and especially those of you from Pennsylvania.  What a blessing that God had provided so quickly having his servant worshipping among you! 

 

Know that Jerry’s recovery is going very well since his release from the hospital on Tuesday.  Home healthcare has come three times this week and will do the same next week plus a follow up visit with a cardiologist. Please continue to keep him in prayer for healing.  We are blessed to be lifted to the throne of grace through your love for us.   

 

Blessings,

Pastor Karen
