75th anniversary of our church in Grants Pass

I have been missing in action lately.We just has  our 75th anniversary of our Grants Pass church.  We had such a blessed time. We had a different speaker for each meeting, chartered a bus to the Golden church in Golden.  Many of our saints found the Lord and his redeeming blood there.  For many years, groups of saints would drive out to that old mining town to hold meetings.  We had a wonderful turn out with meetings Friday night, Saturday prayer meeting and breakfast, trip to Golden and picnic lunch after enjoying the inside of the old church and singing and sharing memories.  We had meeting Saturday night and Sunday School and morning and evening service.  It was like having camp meeting in one weekend.  Hope you enjoy Saturdays Pictures!

Wacky Wednesday:Mom and Pop Business

National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day

Date When Celebrated : Always March 29

National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day celebrates small business owners. These individuals spend countless hours nurturing and growing their young enterprises. The workload demands, and lack of a hired staff, often translates into long and late hours, and many missed family and personal events. But, all in all, they love what they do. After all, they are their own boss.

New businesses have always been a vital, yet not fully appreciated, part of the U.S. economy. On they retail side, they bring different and unique products to the marketplace. They provide stellar and personal service support. When you call, you are more likely to get a real, live person. And unlike big national chains, they know their products. They are outstanding performers in niche markets. In manufacturing, they create many new concepts and ideas, making them creators of new products.

Origin of "National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day":

 According to the son of the "mom and pop" this day was created for:

" This holiday was created to honor the business that my parents started on 3/29/39 in Everett , MA —a hat shop called Ruth’s. It later developed into a woman’s specialty clothing store and moved to Medford , MA , increasing in size to 10,000 square feet with over $2 million dollars revenue until it closed in 1997."
