Last call for volunteers, riders for refugees

Hi everyone,

Finally, the second annual Reform Ride for Refugees is about to take place, starting at 9 a.m. at Silverdale Lutheran Church. Organizers expect 200 cyclists, and hope to raise $20,000 for refugee assistance through Lutheran Community Services Northwest. The ride is dedicated to Dr. Franklin Chu of Bethany, suffering from pancreatic cancer. Route lengths vary. See below. Sign up at lcsnw.org.

Birthday celebrations times two this weekend

Good Monday morning, all,

On the homepage is an image of the cake for Vince Mattson, turning 95. Bethany celebrated Sunday after worship. Happy birthday, Vince, pictured top.

And on Saturday, the congregation wished Joe Sommerseth, pictured above, good birthday tidings, as we marked his 80th birthday.

A quiet week this coming week. I am taking a day's vacation Tuesday, but will check for messages later in the day.
