Saturday Evening, May 14

We had about an hour and a half – after the last people left from yard cleanup – to get ready for the banquet.

I kept looking at our beautiful yard and watching the birds return to their turf near our feeders.

The flower beds look so nice with mulch or red stones. If you think you see part of a shoe next to the geranium, you do. I placed my Dad’s last pair of work shoes in this flowerbed in 1997 after his residence was changed from earth to heaven. They are in pieces now, but I think the soles will last a very long time.

We arrived at Ric-Mar Restaurant, Northumberland, PA, about 4:30 PM and prepared for the banquet. This is a small group of wonderful supporters of Transport For Christ.

After ordering our meals, we were blessed with a solo by Lora Bawel, accompanied by Rita Michael. They also honored us with another song following the meal.

Cerwin also gave a chapel construction update before the meal arrived.

Following the delicious meal, the audience enjoyed a ministry update by Bunny O’Hare, who told some interesting stories about events that happened recently – on chapels or as a result of contacts by TFC staff.

Bunny and Peg traveled with us during the two-hour drive to Northumberland. They are always delightful travel partners. Don and Nancy Goss – near camera – are the contact people for this chapter.

We were blessed to meet new people and renew old friendships. Some of these people have been TFC supporters since the mid-seventies.
