The fall season has begun. However, around here it's been more rainy than fall-like. But I digress.

Here are the songs for this Sunday:

We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer
God of Wonders
He is Able
How Deep the Father's Love for Us

His Way with Thee
God Will Take Care of You
He is Here

Yes, Lord, Yes

This past Thursday night, October 15, the Good Twins were at BBC in concert. Dwight and Dwayne were born in nearby Ludlow IL. They have sung professionally since 1958, and have been gospel singers their entire lives.

The first picture is, from left: Wendell Good (older brother), Dwayne Good, my wife Ingrid, and Dwight Good.

This is Dwight (on the left) and Dwayne singing a hymn acapella after their CD player rebelled and refused to work properly. Even at age 73, the guys still sing well, and the harmony is terrific. It was a pleasure to have them at our church.

The full album of pictures from the evening is on my Facebook page. To see them, go up to the top of this page and click the link for my other blog. There you will find a link to Facebook on the left side of the page. Or, www.facebook.com , search Bob Menge, and become my friend.
