I was out of town for meetings in Little Rock the last part of the week. On Saturday evening, Addi and I took her grandmother, Phyllis Young, to Bentonville so we could celebrate Terry Young’s 70th birthday. Several family members were in attendance. On Sunday afternoon, we dropped by Leon Young’s 99th birthday celebration at his home. We wish both of these men a very happy birthday. We also want to wish my dad, Mark Piper, a very happy birthday today (Saturday).
Haley Dye will be ministering at the New Hope Full Gospel Church on Sunday. Service times are 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
