Hi Faithful Friends,
The good news: our cooking is so delicious that the casseroles are flying out the door! The unfortunate news is that means we have many needy friends. Please keep them in your prayers.All the casseroles that we put in the freezer just 6 weeks ago are gone. I’d like to plan another cooking session. The best part is that we get to get together again at my house. All ages are welcome!
Please let me know if you can come Thursday, July 18 from 4-6pm. For more information or RSVP, email office@hydeparkpres.comor 813-810-1985 to call or text Jane.
.
Blessings, Jane

Lynda & Kim Road Trip and Harriet very nearly gets stuck.Kim Brannan and Lynda Waters pull over for a selfie overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains on their way to Kim’s writing hideaway in Staunton, VA and Lynda continued on to Ellicott City, MD, and “the creek house” outside Sylvania, GA.
Harriet Plyler stayed in the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly grounds in Tennessee on a family vacation, and went on a caving expedition nearby. A very terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! She very nearly got stuck in an extremely small hole…like Winnie-the-Pooh getting stuck in Rabbit’s door!
Send Lynda Waters (or the office) one of your vacation photos. We’d love to see where your travels have taken you!
