OUR CHURCH FAMILY
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE MANY INTERESTS AND HOBBIES, GOD IS FOREMOST IN OUR LIVES. WALT JOINED CONDIT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CONDIT, OHIO AS A TEENAGER AND JEAN WAS BAPTIZED AS A METHODIST. OUR CHURCH FAMILY IS VERY DEAR TO US. WE HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF FIRST UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN DALE CITY, VA FOR 20 PLUS YEARS.
First United Presbyterian Church, Dale City, VA
The Church is a part of The Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA).
LIKE MANY, WE HAVE
SUFFERED PERSONAL TRAGEDY AND CONTINUE TO BE TESTED BY SATAN HIMSELF, WE KNOW
THAT GOD WILL PREVAIL. A FAVORITE SCRIPTURE IS MATTHEW CHAPTER 7 VERSE 7.
THINK ABOUT
THE THREE LETTERS THAT BEGIN EACH SENTENCE AND TOGETHER, FORM THE WORD
"ASK". REMEMBERING THEM, MAKES IT VERY EASY TO REMEMBER THIS PASSAGE
OF THE BIBLE. IT ALSO REMINDS US THAT WE NEED ONLY TO ASK, SEEK OR SEARCH AND
KNOCK AND GOD WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR US.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!

Our friends are our family and very special to us. this verse by Henri Nouwen says it all!
TRUE FRIENDS
When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair and confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
