Jerry says frequently that this kind of happening is one of the major blessings of being in ministry--the opportunity to watch children grow up into beautiful responsible adults--and to know that you were a part of that whole process.
Living in the Seattle area now are Stephanie (Howard) and her husband, Cooper Askins (on the left and right in the lower picture). Having been married in Mexico recently by the Rev. Lana Russell (formerly of Midland), the newlyweds came for church, and brought with them their weekend guest, Emily (Booth) Berry (in red.) The
pastor, Lana, is her mother. Emily lives in San Francisco now. All these "kids" (not an appropriate term to use for these adults, but I guess they'll always be kids to us! Shucks, Jerry still refers to our 61 year old friend Greg here in Sammamish as one of his kids!) call Midland FPC home.
So it was truly a joy to share some time with them at worship, and our mission speaker that morning turned out to be someone Cooper works with in south Seattle.
God is so good!
