There is nothing quite so satisfying as knowing that you have done your best and watching the Lord bless you for your effort and your reliance on Him.   He deserves all the glory for what was accomplished this week - our talents are merely tools He has blessed us with to serve Him better.

Special thanks goes to Mr. Raynes, Mrs. Hardin, and Mrs. Pegram for their hours of extra work in preparation.  We couldn't have done it without you!
