Colby United Methodist

Hi everyone.

 We had to show you pics Rosa growing up so fast.







 

Brian has been working hard repairing an old church in Colby. Their roof had serious repair problems. This past Easter Sunday the congregation had to listen to dripping water during the service. The structure is a masterpiece of quality work of yesteryear. The roof is now repaired. Only some details remain for tomorrow.

We wanted to share some great photos. The church bell has not been used for a decade due to some safety concerns. Brian went into the bell tower to scout out the situation. The bell was made in 1883. The original wood church burned down. The current church was built in 1915.
 It seems that the bell was re-used. We are discussing implementing some safety systems and getting this bell ringing once again. We are planning to install strong safety cables so the bell could never fall.

Last Saturday Charlotte, Peggy and Becky held Amanda's bridal shower. They went all out and it was a great success.

Yesterday, Joshua turned 14. He played drums tonight in Marshfield for the main church youth band. He is very excited.

This weekend the three older boys will camp once again with the scouts.They will be going to a  state park.

Enjoy the photos, keep in touch.

You are an inspiration, because you encourage others to take part in the Worship of the Lord. May God bless you and give you joy unspeakable. Grow thru the year to come do not worry for tomorrow but live in today. For God's word says be anxious for nothing.
