We welcome back folk singer, Russell McFee this Sunday, and we extend a warm welcome to her special accompanist Bob Jones. Bob was organist and choir director at Hobe Sound Presbyterian Church for many years and is an accomplished jazz keyboard player. He filled in for my position when I left St, Luke’s Episcopal church and did a wonderful job! It is a pleasure to have him visit and play for us this Sunday.
Musically yours,
Anne Hlasnicek

Dear Church Family,
Thank you to everyone who came by the church late last week and contributed supplies and donations for us to take into southern Louisiana. We were able to provide a truckload of gas, gas cans and a U-Haul trailer filled with numerous donations of food and water, electrolyte drinks for hydration, baby items, hygiene supplies, tarps, cleaning supplies, flashlights, batteries, coolers, paper plates, clean towels, shoes, hats, a generator, chainsaw, toys and more. All donations were delivered Sunday morning to our daughter’s church, Des Allemands First Assembly of God. This was a tremendous blessing and a source of encouragement for so many people who lost their homes and belongings in the storm. Many people said they had not eaten in several days. It is hard to describe the conditions and emotions without actually being there. Hurricane Ida hit the area on the 16 year anniversary of Katrina. Your continued prayers are appreciated as the residents of southern Louisiana lean on God’s promises for strength, sustenance, and the resources to rebuild and relocate. We are so grateful for the way that you demonstrated your generosity. We feel blessed beyond measure to be able to provide help at a time when it was greatly needed. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Crystal and Clive Botha
