Cathro Community Baptist Church

Pastor Mark Maier
Alpena, Michigan













We have spent the last few days back "Up North" in Michigan. This is a popular ski resort area and is also known for elk viewing. We were able to view this elk from up close!













This was the third year for the Swains to visit this church with a Crown tour group. They were happy to see Pastor Maier and his family once again, and we were pleased to be reunited with Carolyn, a young lady we had met at Camp CoBeAc early in June. (She is pictured here holding her nephew.) God has blessed this church in the past year by providing them with some property and buildings which they desire to use for His glory. They just completed their VBS which was held in one of these buildings.










After a delicious dinner prepared by the pastor's wife and ladies of the church, we sang, showed the DVD, and Mr. Swain preached. The members of this church were so encouraging as they responded to the messages of our songs as well as to the preaching!











The Swains enjoyed spending the night in Pastor and Mrs. Maier's home. Pastor and his son have a taxidermy business, and the Swains were able to witness some early morning endeavors going on there before we left.



Thank you Cathro Community Church family for your warm welcome. We are glad God led us your way!
