Great Sunday in Iraan

Spring is coming!

What a blessing today was at the First UMC in Iraan!  It was a cool start to the day, with tempratures in the low 30s, but with little wind it felt quite nice.

Our fellowship time was a feast for the soul and body as Marie Richardson and Jo Lanehart brought treats to share before worship and for the Sunday school class.

+Belinda is back in Texas and in worship this morning!
+Wanda C. and Burton L. are leading the Sunday school in James' absence.  The class is beginning Second Corinthians this week.
