HUMORESQUE
A little old lady worked on a street corner, selling pretzels for 25 cents each. Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time, and as he passed her pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter but would never take a pretzel. This went on for more than five years. The two of them never spoke. One day as the man passed the pretzel stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel woman spoke to him, "Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a good customer, but I have to tell you that the pretzel price has increased to 35 cents."

I am so sorry to share that Jane Potyka has passed away. Anita and I saw her only a few weeks ago, and she was so looking forward to the restart of choir. (She had no desire to do the video choirs, but she appreciated them!) Bless her heart. She was so faithful and so loving. It will be difficult to sing without seeing her in the front row and without the occasional hug before rehearsals. She was such a blessing. I am thankful that the Good Lord shared Jane with us, and we are blessed to know that she is now sharing that blessing among the family of God. Jane's memorial service will be held in our Chapel on Thursday, July 15th at 10 a.m. Please keep the family in your prayers.

Esther Robinson has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. She will be undergoing radiation and chemotherapy then surgery to remove the cancer. Pray that she can begin her treatment soon, because there is a backlog of patients waiting for surgery due to the Covid crisis. Thank you for praying.
