May Brings Flowers, Vision to Compton

For a couple of weeks in April, the iris bloomed along the alley, greeting staff and clients of Isaiah 58 and neighbors who use the alley as a path connecting two streets that are closed at Grand Ave. Last fall on a work day we plied this bed with mulch and it looks like the flowers liked the attention.

May 3 was the last official Sunday for our student pastor, Lorrie, although she is going to be around for some occasions this spring and summer. At the farewell reception we discovered that Lorrie and Christine's son, Coulton, has a special gift for quieting restless babies, as Annabelle fell fast asleep in this 7-year-old's lap.
