Spring has sprung all around.
Daffodils are in bloom and there is
always something buzzing about in
Auburn – and I am not speaking of
the old beehive located at the top of
the hill near Woody’s campground.
There are a remarkable number of
family activities happening regularly
in Auburn and this week I am
delighted to say happy 90th birthday
to Agnes Hess who shared cake and
coffee after the Sunday service at the
Huron Chapel Evangelical
Missionary Church. Agnes will turn
90 officially on April 21.
Anya Scott returned from New
Zealand after being away for some
months that changed her perspective
on life – another missionary who
deserves credit for her hard work at
minimum wage called no pay for
work that must be done across the
world.
It was refreshing to hear from
Anya and her family after the
missonaries conference last week-
end, this reiterated to the community
that good work is being done by a
drive that comes from the heart.
I am sad to say farewell to Pastor
Dave Wood. There is a banquet
being held for him on Saturday,
starting at 5 p.m. If you are
interested in attending this event
please call the Missionary church to
see if there are still available seats.
