When she agreed to paint a mural last year she could not have foreseen that one job changing the course of her next year and a half.

by Sue Beams
      The members of St. Boniface celebrated Pentecost and Mother's Day on Sunday. A special blessing was bestowed on the moms, and a single rose was given to each in honor of the day. At the Spanish Mass, Fr. Jesse spoke of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples at the first Pentecost. The disciples were afraid, they were alone and they were feeling abandoned.

      We had a wonderful Mother's Day service this past Sunday morning. The title to Bro. Tom's message was, "Mothers: Patterned After God's Heart." He spoke to us about Dorcas and how she touched many lives with her deeds, much like our own mothers. We hope that you had a great Mother's Day.

Lake Palestine U.M.C.
by Barbara Cade
      Since it was Mother's Day, the church honored our mothers at the second service with a special musical number from Gail Johnston. It was really beautiful and we appreciate her doing it. The bad news for the mothers was that the church had ordered some little special gifts for them, but the shipment didn't come in on time, so probably the gifts will be given out next week.
