Welcome from the Bayou Branch of Acton UMC. Wish you were here. It's becoming more difficult to capture people doing "unusual" things because they are now on to me. But, if you know some or many of our traveling troupe, you'll know that "usual' is still noteworthy. Here's a prime example: you'll notice in one of the pictures that JJ is sitting at a desk. Do you know why? She's been promoted to acting Gen. Mgr. of UMCOR at Sager Brown. Yes, our very own JJ. The rest of us are still performing our regular duties of putting health and layette kits together. Here's JJ in her nice office and there's Lovay sweating it out with the rest of us in the warehouse. Notice our talent seamstresses producing materials for distribution. I waited until the bleeding had stopped before I took the pictures of Su and Jeanine. Those serge machines are weapons! Pay particular attention of Bill K. picking up TWO desserts BEFORE his lunch meal. He'll probably claim one is for someone else--maybe Lovay? I have serious doubts! I mentioned yesterday that there might be a weight overload problem on the return trip. Well, we went for a lighter lunch of boiled shrimp, sausage, boiled potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, and bread pudding. I was famished so I had to go back for seconds. However, Bill beat me to it. In addition to our regular duties, we're getting ready for food distribution day tomorrow--about 700 boxes will be given in a couple of hours. We're continuing our devotional tonight at 7:30 discussing our mission statement and the degree to which we're fulfilling it. Again, I want to emphasize the reverence to which Sager Brown is held and the dedication of the volunteer folks from the state of Washington, Texas, and Arkansas--about 72 in total. You can be assured that we're carrying the flag of Acton UMC and flying it high, unfurled to its fullness by the Holy Spirit. God bless all. Craig

Way to go guys!! Keep the cards and letters coming!! We're praying for you . . . dawne
Well it's Thursday and it's that good/sad day. It's a good day because we can look back at the week and all of the many blessings that we have received. The blessing of new friends we have met for the first time and old friends from previous trips. The blessing of working for the Lord and his children. The blessing of being at this holy place.
It's a sad day because tomorrow we leave, We takehome the memories of this week. We will not be able to make folks at home understand the joy and love of SagerBrown, but we will try for we are all filled with enthusism. We will tell everyone about this amazing place but they will not understand. You have to come to this place thatGod has blessed and the you will be hooked. Surely the Spirit of the Lord is in this place. Bill K
