Home Again.

Beverly's birthday with Doug and Sue

Beverly at her High School Reunion (front row - left)

Beverly had a wonderful time at her 

50^th High School reunion.  She

renewed acquaintances with a high 

point being a time of renewed 

friendship with a Jewish classmate 

and his bride.  It was very meaningful 

for both families. There was a reception, 

a tour of the new high school and a 

more formal dinner at a country club.

Beverly with family

She also had the opportunity several
times to get together with family 
members, spending a lot of time with 
her siblings.  Just before we arrived 
there was a funeral service for Dick 

Laudenslager, father of Sue Landis 
our sister-in-law. So it was a very 
important time for us to spend time 
with Doug and Sue and even got 
to visit Sue’s family home in 
Quakertown where she grew up.

Dennis and Jason working on a new building at The Loft

Our visit to Allentown allowed me again to visit with my brother Dennis and to see the progress on their new Bible study room at the “Loft” Christian camp in upstate PA.  Saw Jason his son-in-law again and what an encouragement it was to be there again.

I spent about an hour fishing at the camp and caught a couple of bass, one over 17 inches long!  (left books for the family)


Sunday was a busy day too.  We spoke to the youth group at Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church.  This is the home church of Sarah, Leah and Rachel Klase. We spent time with their parents and met again some of their siblings.  Their Grandfather Ron Mahurin came in just as I began to speak and really complimented the Bible College to the students.  This family is a strong support for the college and we are blessed to have them all as friends.  Almost 70 kids were in attendance and we had a number who responded that they would like to attend the college.  Jon the youth pastor could not have more inviting and I thanked him for the opportunity to speak.  Thanks Joyce for arranging this special event.  

Lance and Karen at the new church

In the afternoon along with Joyce and Herbie, Beverly’s sister and brother we visited her cousins in Harleysville for their birthdays and they asked to buy books too!

In the evening we traveled to Morgantown, Pa to speak to the new church where Lance Eisele is the new pastor. It was a time of blessing seeing Karen too and their daughter Trish.  The church was pretty full.  I spoke for about an hour but like the morning never really got to the Ancient Man part of what I had prepared so quite a few stayed and we went after a brief break for another hour!

Sold lots of book at these events.

Monday was for some rest and we left Tuesday, taking a day side trip and visited Niagara Falls, staying in Canada!  It was rainy and misty but it just added to the time there, sort of like Brigadoon.  We rode the Maid of the Mist into the center of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and it was like being in a washing machine, took a long time to dry out.

Praise the Lord for our safe return last Saturday!

Our thanks to Scott who preached at CBC, finishing the second part of the message "Demolishing Strongholds" this past Sunday.
