After my meeting in Hamburg, I stopped in Omaha to see my son Caleb and his wife Angel and our Grandson Asher for a quick lunch as I headed for South Dakota. I stayed in Huron so I could spend some time with my cousins and my Uncle Russell and Aunt Pat. On Sunday Morning, September 5, 2021, I preached in Tulare, South Dakota for Pastor Todd Bowers. People in this church knew me when I was a baby and toddler living in Wessington Springs, a small town just southwest of Huron. Tulare was one of the churches where I held my first Daily Vacation Bible School in 1986.
For the evening service on September 5, 2021, I preached in Huron, South Dakota for Pastor Aaron Mudge. It was enjoyable to see friends with whom I went to camp in the Black Hills. Calvary Baptist Church was the first church that I held a Daily Vacation Bible School for back in 1986. Pastor Holmes is now retired and living on a newly purchased farmland just North of town. Please pray for Pastor Aaron Mudge as he seeks to reach Huron for Christ.
