November 1 is All Saints Day, a day that was designed to honor God and all his saints past, present and future. Who are the saints in your life, who has prayed, encouraged and guided your life in Christ? Please share about that person?
1 John 3:1
" See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. "
My person to share would be Betty Middleton, she has prayed for my family, influenced us by her loving example of Christian goodness, and continues to be a woman of the Word. She shared this verse with my Mom, and it was a precious to her and I. Blessings, Pam

We're the who?
Q: So, what were nearly 50 different teenagers doing on some weekends and nearly every Sunday in the small town of Hudson, Michigan during the 1970's?
A: We were practicing or singing with the Victory Singers, a teen choir started from the youth group of the Hudson Wesleyan Church.

"We're the Victory Singers
and we sing a Victory Song"
What a wonderful and life changing experience to have been involved in this choir and group. Our brave and fearless spiritual leader and musical director, Rev. Richard Diesler,
was under the direction of some very capable ladies:
Mary Diesler, keeper of home and hemlines;
daughters Sue and Marilyn; our musicians, arrangers, lyricists, wardrobe designers and imparters of fun and jocularity!
We also had a two fine percussionists: Phil Rhinehart and Alton Stiverson
And trumpeters: Margie Moore and Rick Diesler
Within the group there were a few smaller ensembles:
John & His Five (even before there were cell phones, we had our fav five!)
The Sandal Sisters & The J.C. Distributors (Victory Singers and local Campus Life Club friends)
Sunday afternoons would find us gathering in the church sanctuary to practice our singing. Followed by Wesleyan Youth Group and evening worship. Sometime after that evening worship time we would carpool and head over to Olin and Margaret Millers (our Youth group sponsors) home for food and fun or during the summer months travel to Devils Lake Church Drive-in.
Once we had the music memorized, parts harmonized and plans summarized we would carpool or later board the bus to travel to our singing engagements!
