The End of MWM

Greetings all,

Letting everyone know that after somewhere around 28 years, when our annual hosting expires on 08/24/2025, Millennium Weekend Ministries we will not be renewing. Lack of interest for the past many years makes it clear to Esther and me that it does not make any sense to continue to keep the site running.

Many thanks to the handful of folks that have stuck it out with us. Perhaps very soon we shall all meet when we hear the glorious voice of our Savior calling us home to the Father's house. Certainly any who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation, repenting with a "broken and contrite heart" (Ps 34:18 and 51:17) will find mercy and will indeed be caught up together to meet our Savior in the air.

What a glorious day that will be.

In Christ alone,
Andy

    Remembering Memorial Day

    He was getting old and paunchy
    And his hair was falling fast,

    Re: Remembering Memorial Day

    WOW, Reg. I don't know where you got that but THANK YOU for posting it. One day my dear dad will slip into 'sleep' (he's now almost 88 years old...and of course I know the rapture could still happen before he dies) and when/if that day comes the country will lose one more WWII soldier that fought the Nazi's in France back in 1946.

    Excellent poem - if you have the source please do post that as this is something we do require. If "Author Unknown" is the official title then please put that here.

      Reg et al,
      I'm sorry to do this but I'm removing the majority of the poem. I've been given a link that shows it was written by an individual and is also protected with a copyright statement. We have a long-standing policy about this so...I'll put the link to where it's posted.

          Sorry, yes - his boots hit the shores of Normandy on June 13, 1944 where he was shot in the leg. It's also where he found our Savior.
