Here's an update on our move to Gadsden, Alabama. Last Sunday we worshiped at Trinity, our new church, that we began serving on Monday. The people were wonderful and the service was very meaningful - traditional and in good taste. I'm glad we were able to worship as guests for our first Sunday here. Then Sunday afternoon we made an offer on the house that Nelda and I saw on Saturday that we liked best of all that we had seen. It has 1972 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a great room including living, dining, family and kitchen - all open and comfortable looking. Enough space for Nelda's dining room set and large enough bedrooms for master, guest room and office. Our offer was accepted and we are in the process of getting into escrow. The house will need a few repairs that the owner says he will do and we hope it goes through quickly so we can move in by month's end. I'll put a picture on my family page to give an idea. It's exactly 2 miles from the church but in a nice secluded part of Gadsden, still close to the main street that the church in on.

Last night was our first service here, a mid-week Lenten service preceded by an excellent potluck meal in the church's fellowship room. This Sunday will be my first major service at 10:45 Central Time. Then at 5:00 p.m. I will conduct a service at the Talledega Preaching Station. This is a church being planted by Trinity with its own property and a double wide trailer for the services. I'm looking forward to both as an exciting day in the Lord.

Well, better go home to Nelda and Nina at the campground. We had an excellent lunch at the Community College. A buffet for over 55 seniors for 5.50 a person. It was a buffet with lots of good food. They do this every Thursday. Good eating places are in abundance here. Also the weather has been great these past several days, but thunderstorms are forecast for tomorrow night, then warm and sunny next week.

God bless all of our friends at Trinity, Mt. Calvary and all over. Write us an email if you get a chance. We've gotten some already but too busy to answer them individually right now. More later. Pastor PJ
