Keeping In Touch.... Dorothy Powell

To My Church Family at
Powhatan,
It has been nearly a year since I moved from my home of forty-plus
years to Park Village at VMRC, Harrisonburg. I have experienced
many changes and challenges but can testify to the faithfulness of God and
His provision and care. I am surrounded by so many good
Christian friends that I have felt quite secure and blessed. The residents of the Village gather every Wednesday morning for coffee hour and a time for fellowship with a short devotional period in which those with special needs are remembered in prayer. Caring friends is an organization at VMRC in which I participate by visiting regularly a lady who recently lost her husband. Each week I meet with a young Korean mother to help her with her English under the direction of the Skyline Literacy program.
Soon after my
arrival here I began attending the Lindale Mennonite Church. There
I received a warm welcome especially from the many persons I knew from the
Newport News area. |

I recently joined a small group that meets every other week for
Bible study and prayer. There is a good group of single ladies and widows here
who like to go out to eat. I enjoy the Lindale women’s group which
meets monthly for sewing much like I experienced in Powhatan.
I have felt led to transfer my membership from Powhatan and was recently
formally accepted as a member at Lindale. Powhatan church will always
have a special place in my heart and I miss each one of you and the warm
fellowship there. I welcome any of you to visit me at 1248 Shank
Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22802
