Good Friday & Easter

The featured movie will be “The Forge” a movie from the creators of “The War Room.” To go along with the movie, they will be serving hot dogs, chips and a little dessert to go along with the meal.

On Saturday, April 19 SG2C will continue the prayer vigil at the church. This is a chance to reflect on the real reason for the Easter season.

Nancie Blair recently traveled to the Fort Worth area to visit with her sister, Lu Ginapp and brother-in-law Fred. They went to opening day for the Texas Ranger’s baseball. Nancie also went again the next day to see the Rangers play again with her brother Jerry Lang and sister-in-law Karla. Later they had dinner with Nancie’s niece Chrystal Riddle and birthday dinner for my niece Carolina. Nancie found time to visit quilt shops for the All-Texas shop hop adding to her fabric stash.

Ron and Pam Knotts got a chance recently to spend a long weekend with their older son and his family near Centerville. Son, Kelly Knotts, his wife Cindy Knotts, and daughter Gabby Knotts moved to East Texas several years ago, built a barndominium and have been improving their 80 acres. Ron and Kelly spent the weekend working on an outdoor kitchen, which eventually yielded hamburgers, hotdogs and steaks. Granddaughter Gabby is quite the artist and showed off some of her recent creations. This was such a fun visit; plans are already in the works for another visit.
