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.
