Sunday Services March 30, 2008 On Sunday March 30, 2008 the congregation of the Church was treated to a wonderful Service conducted by Rev. Steve Williams.  Rev. Williams is the Chaplain for the Putnam County Hospital, a Chaplain for Advocate Hospice, and pastor of Greencastle Grace Tabernacle.  Oh yes, he is also the husband of Jane, our very own church secretary.As Lay Reader on Sunday I did my best to help Rev. Williams become familiar with the Church facilities and the order of the Service which we normally conduct.  Due to the this being the end of Spring Break for the local Schools we had a slight challenge.  First of all Mark McKee was still in Florida, or on his way home, so I had no idea how to “wire up” Rev. Williams for sound, or how to turn on the system.  Fortunately Rev. Williams and Jane got the system up and running.  Then Andy Lorimer showed up to work the sound board.  Next, no one knew how to get the Power Point presentation from the computer to the overhead projector.  Even with the help of several DePauw experts we still had no overhead projector.  But this was not a big problem as the Service proceeded right on time.  Then just as I resumed my seat in our usual Pew, Pam said to me “we forgot to light the candles”.  But the Service that followed was so enjoyable that no one really cared.Rev. Williams started off with a Children’s Sermon that asked the children “who does Jesus love”  Next he asked  the children what types of shoes they wore for what.  (This would soon be related to his Sermon).  He closed this Children’s session with everyone singing “He’s got the whole world in his hands”.Were you aware of Jane’s musical abilities?  I sure was not.  Jane and her Husband Rev. Williams performed a number of songs that accompanied a Sermon that spoke to the” Beautiful Feet” of those who go forth and spread the word of the Gospels.Pam and I would like to thank Jane, and her Husband Reverend Steve Williams for a very enjoyable Service.  We hope that they will come back again some time.Not to worry Robert, you were still missed. John Anderson
