Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church Laura and I deeply appreciate your friendship and company. You are a gift of graciousness and kindness to us. I pray that together our church will be a demonstration of community which the creator God has intended for the human family across all boundaries of perception and culture. Thank you for the ministry each of you provides by living with integrity the vision and capacities which God has ordained for you. Each person makes a unique contribution which enriches and refreshes our journey of faith. Without this association there would be missing a blessing for which there can be no substitute. Let us follow with courage and endurance the way that unfolds before us. I will be out of the office for my scheduled absence until Monday, Jan 16. Helen Hopson will be our preacher for next Sunday. May it go well with you. Sincerely, Garland Robertson ...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to bring some portion of misery to an end
