Marie and I enjoyed a few days away but it is always nice to be back home. We attended the Methodist Church in Branson where Pastor Dierks is the minister. He was at The Warsaw Methodist Church for several years. Thanks to Mark Simmons for preaching Sunday. I have heard several good reports.

This coming Sunday is Reformation Sunday. I will be preaching on Martin Luther’s discovery of the Gospel. I have done Luther before but it is good to have an annual reminder of our heritage.

We continue to cope with the coronavirus. Thankfully no one has gotten sick from attending church. We do miss our members who have health issues that preclude them from attending. We have not forgotten you and look forward to the day when you can join us again.

Bible study will be on Wednesday at 3:30. We continue our study on discipleship. We begin a section entitled, “Twelve Things that Mark a Disciple.” If you come prepared to wear a mask then those who feel uncomfortable around those who are unmasked will be able to join us.

May the peace of God which surpasses understanding abide with you all. Pastor Bowman
