Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him (Psalm 34:8). Tasting involves action on our part; it does not happen without effort. When we taste something, we make a point of putting it in our mouth and relishing the flavour. We analyze the different textures, we are aware of how we respond to what we are tasting. In the same way, we need to make a conscious effort to know God, to let Him into every area of our lives, allowing Him to fill us with His essence and being aware of how we are responding to His presence in us. Then we will experience God’s goodness in a new way. God’s goodness at Osler Mission Chapel is evident every week as our sanctuary fills with men, women and children hungry for God’s word; As our Sunday School classes fill with children willing to hear how God will speak to them, teachers, pastors, and worship leaders obey God’s calling on their lives by serving us in the areas God has gifted them in. We feel incredibly blessed - and we give all the glory to our Heavenly Father through whom all this is accomplished. On May 17 we were inspired by Caleb Doerksen as he shared with us during the morning service. Caleb had spent Page 8 Construction Surges Ahead Osler Mission Chapel, Osler, Saskatchewan time in India on a mission’s trip recently. Caleb is a young man who has allowed God to work in his life in a powerful way. Immediately after the morning service, the congregation of Osler Mission made their way into the sanctuary of the new church building for a prayer of dedication. We bowed our heads in acknowledgement of the great blessing this new building would be, and in knowing that this too was evidence of God’s goodness to us. A congregational meeting was held on Monday, May 25, to discuss the new building project. A detailed financial report was presented, and plenty of time was allowed for questions. We need more funds to come in so we can make some changes to the existing church building and have it meet all the standards required. The new building was open for us to wander through and marvel at all that had been done. It was exciting to see the walls painted on the upper level, and know that the day is drawing nearer when we will be able to move in. The turnout for this meeting was overwhelming. It was an indication of the unity and support present in our midst.

With the approach of summer holidays, bringing new schedules and hopefully some time to relax and enjoy family and friends, my prayer is that you would make the effort to taste and see that the Lord is good. You will not be disappointed. Mary Anne Peters On May 17, during the morning service, Caleb Doerksen shared of the work God had done through him on his recent mission’s trip to India. Greetings from Weidenfeld! On April 4 Pastor George Froese had the privilege of performing the wedding ceremony of Wes Doerksen and Josie Prise in the Steinbach CMC church. May you always look to our Heavenly Father for guidance and may you be blessed with an abundance of joy together. The following weekend, Weidenfeld celebrated Easter by having our Sunday School present us with a program of songs and verses depicting Jesus’ trial, death, and resurrection. It was very well done. Deacon couple Gary and Cindy Braun have left the Weidenfeld church at this time. We pray that as they wait on the Lord, His will may become clear. On Saturday, May 2, a number of ladies came out for breakfast to St. Malo Chicken Chef. We had a precious time of fellowship over a tasty meal. Pastor George Froese baptized Diane Friesen and Corey Maynard, and had the special honour of baptizing his own son, Joseph Froese. Three Baptized at Weidenfeld Weidenfeld CMC, Weidenfeld, Manitoba Sunday, May 31, was a very special day for Weidenfeld.
