5 /5 Will Juntunen: "All Hands On Deck" pastor said in her sermon. She was speaking of the day before when the entire congregation gathered to say farewell to Wilbur, a long time friend and fellow worshipper.
All together gave his community a beautiful service that joined two choirs together and even included a performance of Romanian dancers. Today, I got to know Wilbur better through her testimony about him. He chose electrical engineering because he could be good at it without perfect vision. He chose music as his hobby, a serious hobby, because it made use of his wonderful hearing. I was so grateful that his family chose to share his music collection with us, offering us beautiful classical recordings on compact disks, set out for us to take home and enjoy.
This is an all hands on deck congregation. Seven gardens tended by volunteers beautify the church grounds, all for the cost of seven hundred dollars a year in supply. Coats donated by Doubletree and the hockey team find their way to the coldest quickly. The church struggles to work out a way to use local resources to keep the food pantry ready for those who call upon its resources.
I was received in friendship. Indeed, a splendid meal was set out before all in honor of the annual congregation meeting. I cannot believe what wonders were set before me just for the sake of my waking in the great wooden door.
