HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVELYN!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR EVI!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

On Monday, May 15th, 1972 God gave to us our second daughter, a beautiful baby! She was born in Flushing Memorial Hospital, Flushing, NY with Dr. Kiss doing the delivery. What an exciting time in our lives! The wonderful women of the Immanuel Baptist Church, where we were the pastor family, held a surprise baby shower for us. I especially loved that they even had gifts for our 3 year old.
What a generous, thoughtful group.
They are forever in our hearts.

Our daughter is a loving, godly wife, a beautiful, creative, compassionate woman, a skilled teacher's assistant and mother of four of our 9 grandchildren! We love you!
We wish you awesome adventures
with the Lord in the coming year!

Wonderful tribute to your daughter! Well done. Our oldest daughter, Jenny, 20, left today for "the big city" to be youth minister intern for the summer. Our son, Wes, is taking a youth ministry job in Cheyenne, WY. We feel thankful and blessed. I don't know how it feels yet to have those grandchildren, but I do know the good feeling and thankfulness you have when things turn out well for your kids. WB

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL?

Image
The pastor made comments about the lovely flower arrangements decorating the front of the church. He used them as an excellent illustration about being real! They looked deceptively real, but were in fact artificial, fake, and phony. Not all things, or people for that matter, are the real thing. Imitations are passed off as the real thing everywhere one goes. Fake flowers and fake people can deceive us, but thankfully not for long. Counterfeit coins or counterfeit Christians – neither can be taken at face value. Being totally acquainted with the real thing, however, will give us the discernment to know when something or someone is fake! As I mulled over this picture, other thoughts crowded my mind. In our sanctuary, there is no access to natural light streaming in through beautiful, wide or stained glass windows. Even a child knows that without natural light real plants cannot grow. The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...
