A Week of Celebration!

     Kool and the Gang made the term "Celebration" a phrase and song future generations could relate.  The expression took on added meaning this week at the UM House.  Our past President Robert Richard's family and friends celebrated his granddaughter's baptism in the chapel on Sunday.  This was closely followed by the annual Baldwin-Wallace College reception and fine arts presentation.  But the most momentous celebration came when the Sec. General of the Board of Discipleship of the Methodist Church arrived from Nashville, Tennessee to lead us in discussion and fellowship for the week as our chaplain.  Rev. Karen Greenwaldt proved to be a fresh warm addition to our 'porch' and her husband Russell Harris, a potter by trade, complemented that hospitality.
