JOSH SVATY IS PREACHING IN THE CARNEIRO CHURCH

Hang on to your hats. I just might go to church! This one has been around so long it won't shake in my presence.

Josh is preaching in the Carneiro Methodist Church every Sunday at 9:45 during July and August as the regular minister wanted some time off. I've never heard Josh in this particular type of setting and I'd really like to...and this is the perfect place to do that. It won't matter that I'm only an observer and not a participant. Anyone who knows me at all should know I'm definitely not looking for a church home.

The congregation is a small one...Mazie and Jack Grothusen, the preacher's grandma Lucille Svaty, Nancy Thornburgh, Bob Hudson and his wife, Mr. Bohata, the Hendersons, Evelyn Arensman and two sisters from Brookville (one plays the organ), generally attend.

After this service, Josh moves on to a church in Kanopolis for another service. He's a wonderful speaker, very bright, well-informed, articulate and always has a message to impart. I'm sure he picked up a lot of things at Boston University this summer in his government/religion course to talk about.

It might just be a neat thing to do to fill the small, but well-maintained, Carneiro Church for his services.
