We have really learned to love Keith4him & Jeanie!! They are awesome people and I have no doubt that they will be successful in their years at this church. They have a vision to see what God wants to do here.
Our daughter Ashley & her new husband Adam came over with us and will also be with us in service tomorrow. So it's been good to spend some time with them too!

It was such a special weekend for us, Eddie and Sherri blessed our church and are ministry above measure.
We went to the Thunder in the Bay Friday night to meet with them, heard Mike Hayes (who up to this point only know him from TV) preach a great message that the church at large needs to hear. It wasn't a TBN health and wealth message, but one of God's provision during the rough days ahead.
Took Eddie and Sherri to Original Joe's, a notable Italian restaurant in San Jose, the food as always was excellent. The fellowship was better.
Let me say that Eddie/ Sherri Cupple's is one of the most laid back, easy to be around Pastors that I have ever met. No pretenses, just real and authentic as they come.
We came back on Saturday Morning from San Jose, after letting my wife go on a $240 mini-shopping spree, at the outlet malls in Gilroy.
On the way home, Sherri gave me some CD's of Eddie latest series and messages. She said that one message in Particular, "Why Old Men Weep" was one of his best messages. Folks I agree, this is a word from God for every church ministry. I encourage every Spirit Filled Believer from conservative to Liberal to hear it. Most likely it's available through Love and Truth Website.
Saturday afternoon, Eddie and Sherri did our installment service, great message for our church, for some time I have been telling our church that they would love them and sure enough, many came up to me after the serivce telling us how much they enjoyed his message about "Pastoral Protocol".
It was a message about how churches need to adapt and respond to a growing churches pastoral ministry, taken from the life of Moses. Very timely and hit the spot in our local church setting.
St. Mark and a old Ministry friend came at the end of service and stayed for a time of fellowship afterwards.
I will post some pictures later today. Eddie will be speaking at our church this morning, we will be taking them to the
Wool Growers after church in Los Banos, it's a wonderful, quaint, Basque/Portuguese Eating Establishment that serves excellent food.
