HUNTER-THANK YOU
You have been so kind and loving to Ed and myself the last three weeks. The meals have be wonderful, the cards lovely, the prayers uplifting, the phone calls and visits a true blessing. It is truly a blessing to know there are so many people that care and are willing to take the time to express that. We appreciate and love every one of you. Thank you also to Pastors Couch and Garnett for the many visits in the hospital and after I returned home. May God bless you all for being such a blessing to us.

CARRY-IN DINNER FOR THE PARTELOW’S
There will be a carry-in dinner on Saturday, March 10th at 5:30pm in the Fellowship Hall for all who wish to get to know Ralph and Carolyn. Please bring two dishes of your liking.
Dear Friends and Family of Zion,
Margaret and onI are entering a new milestone in our lives. We have purchased a home in Canton, Texas. God has graciously sold our Worland home and I know the new owner will be blessed by it.
Ministry has been somewhat limited in recent weeks. I have had no base from which to operate. Our new home will allow me a study and my writing will begin anew. I have taught at Arrowhead Bible College and have done a strategic management plan for Beartooth Mountain Christian Ranch. Both were challenging and invigorating. I was sad that the weather at the time prohibited me from coming to visit you. Prayerfully we will see you soon.
We are excited that Mattie is so close. It is very comforting to have her near. And we are so excited that Sara Garnett will be coming down here as well. Ministry in this area abounds. It is a great environment to grow and be nurtured in the Lord.
Margaret and I are excited about the possibility of Ralph Partelow returning as your Senior Pastor. We know how loved he was and what a great healer he is. Ralph is truly a great man of God and Zion is twice blessed by him. We pray for his success and Carolyn’s strength to build the church with her prayers.
Let me give you our new mailing address and contact information:
Bud and Margaret Surles
229 Chester
Canton, Texas 75103
e-mail: bsurlesm@aol.com
Phone: 903-567-6896
We love you all and miss you terribly, but God is doing good things for us here. We know that He has paved the way for us. So grow in Him and support your new pastor and leaders of the church.
God bless you all,
Bud and Margaret Surles
