Today, we had an outstanding program and lunch.
We started with our Early Bird prelude of music from our Easter Cantata from last Sunday. Of course, this was followed by our time of jokes and story telling before getting into our agenda for the day.
Allison Stolar Misere sang a very nice solo. I’m sure we will be using her again. Her grandfather, John Stolar was a member of our group before his health began declining. We put a photo of their son, Jacob, over Allison’s head just because we enjoy children and I knew everyone would enjoy seeing him.
Unfortunately, we did not record this program, so you will not be able to hear Allison, this time. We will invite her back and be sure to record her, for next time. Maybe it worked out so we have a good excuse to bring her back, SOON!
Next we heard from Larry and Nancy Allen. They are missionaries to Bangladesh, where they’ve been for about 35 years with a short move of fields to the Philippines. Larry and Nancy have been long time members of our church and were actually married her in 1972. Larry attended college here and Nancy taught.
This was different that what you would expect from a missionary presentation. Larry did show some very interesting photos and talked about their work in Bangladesh; but his focus was on children, and more importantly, grand-parenting! Maybe they should focus on a ministry to grandparents, when they retire from active foreign missions!
Of course, a good Allen presentation wouldn’t be complete without Nancy. Her background is teaching and she also taught in Bangladesh.
Thank you Larry and Nancy Allen for a very interesting and enlightening presentation. I heard many very good comments about it.
