 From Stan Webster:  I deeply appreciate your listening to the video sermons I have been sending out over the past two years.  Sharing them with you has been a continual source of joy for me.  I have pictured you in my mind as I prepared the messages, and have felt very much connected with you.  Let me say a heartfelt word of thanks to Carol and Richard Riggs for the support they gave in getting this ministry started.  This week, I will be retiring, closing out a ministry of the Word and Sacraments that began June 26,1983.  I will no longer be sending out a weekly email, but the YouTube channel, “Stanley N.
