           This Week At Old South Haven Presbyterian Church

An observation: Last Sunday we had eight visitors. Most of them present for the first time. I have found it interesting that visitors are often present on those Sundays when many of our own members are absent! In fact, because visitors usually come well before the service begins and our regulars come at the very last minute (or later!) I would imagine visitors wonder if they are going to be the only ones present. I make this comment only as an observation

WE DID IT.  We owe so many of our church members and friends a hearty thank you for the success in hosting the meeting of the Presbytery of Long Island this Tuesday.  So many compliments came to us concerning our hospitality, our good food, the beauty of our property, and the good will that was expressed.  Our full sanctuary (meeting room) has been captured on film, maybe we should use it for publicity purposes.

Certainly it will be released to the media.
