Greeting from Randy:
It’s Pastor Appreciation Month again, and that means what? It means that we better get busy showing our deepest appreciation for those who sacrifice so much for the Kingdom and for our Lord’s Church. I hope and pray that our churches and the members of those churches will go way beyond what they’ve ever done before expressing to their Pastor(s) how much they are grateful for the Shepherd that our Good Shepherd has given to them.
Let me take this opportunity to share with our Pastors and ministers that this month’s lunch at el Camino will be ‘on the Association’ for those that join us this Monday, October 7th at 11:30 A.M.. The fellowship is always good, as is the food and this month it’s free, so join us for a great time of sharing in the Lord’s work.
Of course, there are projects of all sorts going on all the time at the Ridge, so if feel so led, give us a call to see how you can help out. Dining Hall improvements, cabin improvements, a little painting here and there - there is always something to do. And if you like to work outdoors, don’t feel left out. Bro. Dennis Grotz could always use some help trimming brush and trees and , well, the list goes on and on. Call 660.438.2533 and we’ll see just where you can fit in.
