First Baptist Church of Marion

Pastor Dennis Williams
Marion, Michigan













The Swains had been looking forward to being at this friendly church again this year. They had met Pastor Williams several years ago when they attended this church while vacationing here. When the pastor and his youth group came to visit Crown two years ago, they were excited to see him and renew their acquaintance. We enjoyed having Pastor and Mrs. Williams join us for a cookout at "our" cabin on Friday evening.












Saturday night we were encouraged by the church members and many visitors from the area who came for this special service. A lady whose church one of our tour groups visited last year came because she had seen the article Pastor Williams had put in the newspaper! We sang many songs, Diana gave a testimony of God's provision for our small needs as well as for our great ones, and Mr. Swain preached.













Following the service we enjoyed eating and fellowshipping with all who came. We met a young lady who is seeking God's will concerning attending Crown this fall and were able to answer many questions for her. Thank you, Pastor Williams, for your warm welcome. We were encouraged by you and your church family!

While staying at the cabin here on Swain Lane in Marion, we have enjoyed seeing some wildlife. Tiffany even found a "treasure" for decorating her dorm room!
