, great to see all of you here today. thank you for choosing to worship with us today. we got a lot of things to talk about, this morning. before we get going with some of that, we do have a, a newly married couple that we want to, recognize.
this is the first Sunday that they have been here since. getting married 5 weeks ago. Jake and Brianna Bissard, could you guys stand? Yeah.
They are now, living in Tucson, Arizona, but they're visiting with us this weekend, so we're happy to have them, with us in our service today, and we're happy to have them staying in our home as well. we also, have some sobering and yet joyful news to, share with you, Marlene Brugge. A dear sister in Christ and a blessing to so many in our church, body went home to be with the Lord Wednesday night of, do we have PowerPoint? No PowerPoint.
OK. she went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday night of, this past, week, and, as information becomes, available about her memorial service, we will pass that information, along to you, but it will likely occur toward the end, of, of, of this month. Obviously, we do not grieve for Marlene. We know that she is rejoicing in the presence of Jesus Christ right now, and she is right now in a worship service that's better than the one we're in....
