Dear Brothers and Sisters, it is with joy that I address you for the month of May. We have a beautiful world to view that our Lord has given us. Flowers, trees, the beautiful grasslands of the Flint Hills. The weather has been superb. It reminds me of the “Eternal Spring” my daughters experienced at Pepperdine. We may not have mountains and an ocean view but I would not trade these last few weeks for any place because of the kind and wonderful people who makeup our RiverWalk Family.
I saw so many people working to make our neighborhood more beautiful. My back ached from picking up trash on the Saturday in April that we served Wichita, but my heart was full. Thank you to all who served.
My greatest thanks is to our Lord who has prepared a place for us in that house not made with hands. A home more beautiful than anything we have seen or can imagine. A thank you to Brother Rick for his message from the pulpit. The job I have is helping children who have experienced problems that are certainly increased by weak families and lack of a moral compass. May our message for strong families bless our church family and the community that surrounds us. Thank you, Brother Scott, for the message and the opportunity to honor those couples who have more than 50 years of marriage. We can see the truth of God’s word and our message from the pulpit of perseverance that our 13 couples give us as living examples. Each year I attend the graduation of Derby High School where I work but I have a deeper appreciation for our graduating seniors and the young people you serve, Brother Grant. Thank you to Brother Eric and his thoughtful gifts and presentations of Bibles to our new babies at RiverWalk. We have exciting events awaiting these babies and our future members who will be served by our New Nursery. Also I have been impressed by the suggestions of our Nursery committee that will lead to a better and safer place for members and visitors.
May is a beautiful month with many happy and wonderful things happening at RiverWalk. I hope to see you this month at church and in our community. This also an invitation to visitors to join us in our Walk (Following in the Foot Steps of Jesus).
