(Nadia and the Schildt family – these pictures are for you.) I had to take separate pictures of Mary and Paul Schildt for their volunteer chaplain ID badges. Paul also serves on the Northeast Council.

(Rodney and Jody, we are anxiously waiting to hear the news of the arrival of your new baby. Grandma Rose is ready to head for Iowa! I am so pleased that your dad is having “the time of his life” on the Rebecca St. James concert tour.)

The Sunday morning communion service was led by Chaplain David Roberts, Lead Chaplain, Harrisburg, PA.
Worship leaders, Merle and Floss Hunsberger (center front – he is wearing beige slacks), did an awesome job of preparing and leading us in songs concerning the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Trisha Hoy (right – wearing pink), wife of Chaplain David Hoy prepared us for each meeting by playing hymns on her new digital keyboard ten minutes prior to every service.
Our faith was strengthened as we were reminded of the “Living Hope” we have in Jesus Christ.
Special thanks to Sam Rittenhouse for the work he did behind the scenes in preparing for this retreat. This is the first time he and Alice missed a retreat in the sixteen years he has served as Northeast Region Assistant Director. That was due to the fact that Alice was in the hospital. We are glad to know that she is home and doing well again.
