Grand Rapids, Michigan
How we enjoyed spending a few days with the Butler families, back in Michigan once again. Pastor Butler's mother and dad, who live on a large dairy farm, graciously opened their lovely home to us and made us feel just like family.
Saturday mornig the men of the church were invited to the Butlers' farm for breakfast and shooting skeet. We all enjoyed the delicious food, and Tiffany & Mr. Swain also joined in the shooting.
Later that day we accompanied Pastor Butler and Brooke Weeks, another Crown student, in visiting their bus riders. God blessed, and the church had a record number of riders on Sunday. Please join us in praying for Porcha, a teen rider who Brooke was able to lead to the Lord during Sunday School. What a blessing!
Saturday evening we had the privilege of visiting Mrs. Joyce Horn and singing for her in her home. She is the wife of the pastor who the Swains consider to be their spiritual father and who God used to give them wise direction when they first trusted the Lord as their Savior. Mrs. Horn was a piano teacher at a Bible college for forty-five years, and Hannah was thrilled to find a copy of "Prelude in G Minor" by Rachmaninoff on her piano - she did a beautiful job sight reading as she tried it out! 
God's hand was upon the service Sunday, and Pastor Butler was excited to have so many attending, some of whom were first time visitors, as well as having many new bus riders.
Following the service, we celebrated Krystal's 21st birthday. She enjoyed her favorite cake - chocolate with chocolate icing- after we ate dinner at the church.
Thank you, Pastor Butler and family, for making our stay with you comfortable, fun, and encouraging. God bless you!
