Happy Anniversary to Rev. Irwin and Diane on Thursday, Aug. 1.
This week was the monthly Friendship Coffee meeting. Normally, we hold it in the hall at the church, but this time we met in the rose garden beside the Sidney library. That tradition started with COVID when indoor meetings were not allowed. The rose garden visit proved so popular, our hosts have maintained the tradition during the good weather months.
The lovely weather -- warm but not too hot -- seemed to bring out the loveliness in the folk gathered in a corner of the garden. In the church, we have two host couples, the Lawrences and the Krahns.
Outdoors bins of cookies appeared from many households.
The rule is "bring your own coffee" but urns and paper cups were there for sharing.
When I arrived there were about twenty-five people present but within the hour there must have been close to forty. A stroll among the flowers and a leisurely chat with friends proved an irresistable combination. 
Of course, this fluffy little dog drew chuckles and pats from everyone present.
He hath made everything beautiful in its time. Eccl. 3:11
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gn 8:11
And God saw everything that He had made and, behold, it was very good. . . Gn 1:31
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, regoice. Phil. 4:4
