Sat, 8/30/25, Holland chapter did morning worship, bake sale, Classes, lunch by BayShore, prayer and ride to Akron, Trinity Potluck, service and bake sale auction

The morning service

The Holland Chapter did the worship in the morning service.

Marsha, on the right, made a sign for our Bake Sale since some people said they didn’t know where we were.  Next year, I will have a flag bake sale sign.  She had Michelle with her baby get in the picture.  Michelle’s 33 year old sister passed away this morning after getting sepsis yesterday.  Please keep her in prayer

Me and Bev working at the bake sale.  It was such a nice day.  Some people came in and said they were buying now because they new in the evening service when they auctioned off the left over baked goods they would be three times as much.

Russ’s wife, Marsha, covered for me at the bake sale, while I went to his class on Chapter Growth.  He did a great job teaching it.  Here he was showing how we need to be filled to over flowing with the Holy Spirit.

BayShore had a food tent for us to buy food for lunch.  Then everyone sat on picnic tables and enjoyed eating and visiting with one another

Jeff, Anita, Bev and Kathy led us in worship.  It was awesome!
The Tawas Chapter was recognized as being a forming Chapter.  My nephew goes to their church.  They are a young and on fire group.  So thankful God brought them in to CMA

Tiny auctioned off bake sale items and a few other items that people gave him.
Teri made a beautiful Run for the Son teeshirt quilt that went for $200.

Bill and I went to devotions at 7:20.  Bev, Ron, Bill and I got to the pavilion to set up the bake sale at 8:30.  People started bringing items around 8:45 and by 9 the bake sale was open.  We could hear the service outside.  I went in and took some pictures.  We sold some things and people kept bringing things.  After the service was done, lots of people came and bought stuff.  Marsha covered so I could go into her husband, Russ’s class.  It was a great class on Chapter Growth.  Marsha also covered while Bill and I went and bought lunch.  Then I came back to the bake sale pavilion and ate lunch.  Bev went to get Ron and ate with him.  Marsha stayed with me and helped at the bake sale.  Marsha would run some items over to people eating lunch and sold some things.  She also got more people to come.  She is so nice and so much fun.  

Kathy came to help me for a half hour, then I left to go line up with Bill for the ride to Akron.  We all prayed as a group before leaving.  Kathy covered the bake sale the rest of the time until 3 when it ended.  

We all drove into Akron and our regular parking lot we have parked in for the last 4 years was full.  We had to drive through town and they had us park in a row in the middle of the road which of course was closed off.  We got big strawberry lemonades and walked around and talked ro people.  We saw Bubba and Deb there at their booth area and talked to them.  We all rejoiced because Deb is cancer free and a miracle.  She was thanking us for all the prayers.  We are so thankful God healed her.  We walked til we came to the CMA booth we have there.  Joe and Liz set it up and got workers to help work it.  This year they asked if we would keep it there for Sunday too, so we did. 

When we got back, Trinity Riders was having their potluck.  We ate burgers and lots of other good food and did lots of visiting with great friends.  After we were done there, we went and I got to spend time with Vikki and the girls, Peyton, Bridgette, Bethany, and Lily.  The other girls left and Lily made Mac and cheese for all of them to eat.  They didn’t want to go to the potluck.  Bill gave Lily a ride on his motorcycle just through the campground.  She loved it.  

We went to the evening service, had awesome worship.  Jay gave a great message and we had prayer at the altar for people afterwards.  

We all went to the dining hall and had CMA 50th anniversary cake, Liz’s retirement cake, and another cake with the CMA Logo on it.  We also had ice cream.  Cindy and Lew were helping cut the cake, dish it out and scoop ice cream with others.  It was yummy!  After everyone left, we stayed and helped clean up.  Ashley who is on staff there, helped.  

We went back to the camper and read our Bibles.
