Greetings,
For this week's newsletter click on;www.nursinghomemusicministry.com/7-27-2015.html

   The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.



Acts 5: 12-16
         
          Monday July 20 th ~

     Drove south down the Oregon coast to Lincoln City where I hooked up with friends at the Foursquare church. Arranged to minister in some local nursing homes this coming week and published the newsletter from the church.

     Sang at the  "Lakeview" assisted living facility in their main dinning room, then enjoyed having lunch with five of the lady's at their table.

          Wednesday July 22 nd ~

     Spent the bulk of the day doing domestic chores including a bear-of-a-time repairing one of the day/night shades from the van. Then at the mid-week meeting I got to visit with my friend Don.

          Thursday July 23 rd ~

     Ministered at the "Hillside Place" here in Lincoln City.
     At one point, a lady stood up and said, "I want to tell you something."   Yes mam?" I replied.

She said, "Years ago I was living at "Baycrest" in South Beach (30 miles south) when you sang for us and stayed the night in our guest room. You left early the next morning. This is the first time since then that I've been where you were at, and able to hear you."
     She added a few encouraging complements which got a positive response from the other residents.

        Later in the afternoon I went out to dear friends' Don & Pat's for dinner and some sweet fellowship.

          Friday July 24 th ~

     Attended an early morning breakfast fellowship with a bunch of Christian men from around town at a local restaurant. Got invited to share a bit about the ministry and afterwords the owner (Cary) did a video interview with me for his ministerial website.

     Later, a sweet visit with my dear friend Darrell (Pastor at Foursquare). Then Tom & Sarah showed up at the church. They are the lovely couple from Alabama who provided the ministry's Tour Bus a year and a half ago. They're on a long trip around the country and timing was conducive for us to connect.

          Saturday July 25 th ~

     Attended the men's Bible Study Breakfast here at Foursquare. Tom & Sarah joined us for donuts and some visiting time before continuing on their journey.

          Sunday July 26 th ~

     Attended worship services here at Foursquare where I was given the honor of sharing a bit. Then accompanied Don & Pat to Pig-n-Pancakes for a meal.        

    
And so begins another week.

May The Lord Our God
Guard, Guide And Direct You.
In The Name Of Jesus. Amen!
