Wall St. 566-2288 THE SILVER FITNESS CENTER 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Omega Soto: Recreational Program Coordinator Carol Gutierrez: Senior Center Aide Louella Pettigrew: Senior Center Aide Greetings, as I sit and ponder what God would have me share, I praise Him for His Goodness, Faithfulness, and Comfort, and most of all His Unchanging Love for us His children. The past months have been a time a movement and change, yet God is Always present and in control. The World Series is underway, and yes the rains have caused some playing issues, yet we Praise God for his goodness of bringing much needed rain to our community. Changes and moves are what I have been experiencing of late. Yes the Bamberger's have seen all three daughters relocate for career moves: Carisa to California (Paleontologist contract); Klista to Colorado Springs (Clinical Social Work); and Carrie (Speech Pathologist) and her husband, Stephen also to Colorado Springs. And finally, Linda has returned to her 2nd Grade position at Country Club Elementary. Please uphold her in prayer for renewed strength and energy as she devotes her time to molding these beautiful little children that God has blessed her with. I too have had a first here at Bonnie Dallas. Yes I have seen a number of our senior patrons fall in love and marry here at the center; however two of our staff members: Omega Gonzales and Harry Soto having met here at work recognized God leading them into relationship and on July 30, 2013, exchanged their wedding vows here in our Serenity Garden and committed their lives to each other in Christ Jesus! We rejoice and congratulate them as they begin their new journey in life as they walk together in Christ as Mr. & Mrs. Harry Soto. We here at Bonnie Dallas have come to love them both, may we continue to support them and may God richly bless this unity. We again look forward to our friends from BP, as they will be honoring us on their Day of Car- ing - Thursday, September 12, marks their 6th Annual Hamburger & Ice Cream Picnic here at the Bonnie Dallas Senior Center during our morning and lunch time. As always this will be a fun time of food, frolic, and fellowship. This event as always is open to all our friends 50 years and older. As the year progresses, as we experience changes, and new developments one thing we can rest assure on is that God is in control and will remain faithful to direct our paths for His good- ness! One of my favorite songs has the following lyrics which provide me with much comfort: "I will not be moved, and I'll say of the LORD, You are my Shield, my Strength, my Portion, Deliverer, my Shelter, Strong Tower, My very Present Help in time of need." "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, yes and forever." Hebrews 13: 8 God Bless Each of You!
