Sometimes I am a little bit slow!
This week is one of those times.  As my family prepares to celebrate the marriage of my son, Jacob to his wonderful fiancée Emma, I have been a little slow on returning phone calls (and will probably be for at least a few days).  So please leave messages when you call, or drop an email to thiscox@infaith.org .  I will get back to you as soon as I can.  As messages pile up, some calls may not get returned until next week.  Thanks for understanding!

Rejoice with those who rejoice!
Romans 12:15(a)

Nice Visit to NWxNW
Thank you to Bonny Klukas for hosting the NWxNW ministry leaders fellowship, Monday at Columbia Bible Church (Rainier).  This month we had folks from Columbia, Hudson Park, Mayger-Downing, and Deer Island in attendance.  Next month we meet June 14 at Hudson Park Bible Church .

Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!
Psalm 133:1

 A Fond Farewell!
Still sending prayers of blessing to Pastor Mat Neahring, his wife Carrie and their kids as they settle into their new ministry at Calvary Baptist Church in Manzanita this month.  (Now we all have another friend at the coast!)   Please be in prayer for Shiloh Basin Community Church and especially elder Scott Brownlow, as they seek a new shepherd.

Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. 1 Timothy 5:17

 May God bless you this week as always!
