Sunday, November 14, 2010 is Louise Johnson Day

Church Family

It is fun to look back on the fun times we have had in the past. It is a blessing when we share good times together. We should never forget we are who we are today because of the hard work of all who have gone before us. As Louise Johnson moves to College Station we treasure all of the fond memories we have shared. She will be a blessing to St. Lukes UMC in College Station. We are losing one of our constant volunteers. She has been a large part of 3M's, helps out in the office every Monday as we prepare and send out our Church newsletter, coordinated volunteers for Feed My Lambs, helps with Fall Festival, Christmas Festival, Chicken Spaghetti Dinner. Louise, you will be missed.

Lord, thank you for blessing all of us with her sweet demeanor, her quiet ways and ready smile. Our lives are better because she has touched each one of us in a special way. Amen
