Happy Birthday Ruth!

"How come we're not going to the Arundel Inn?"

(Feb. 18, 2010) Ruth fully expected to go with Dick and Julie to the Arundel Inn for a birthday celebration. Dick, who was in on the Surprise Party Conspiracy, was able to convince her that they were in fact heading in that direction until they turned onto Langsford Road. Ruth then became suspicious, particularly after she saw the 80 parishioners waiting in Bartlett Hall.

It was a surprise birthday party that all enjoyed. It was also the first time we'd seen Ruth wearing the birthday hat.

Love filled the room and a grand time was had by all.



Pastor Ruth's filled-to-
the-walls ??th birthday
party was a loving &
beautiful tribute to her
glorious and humble service
for our Lord AND to her
ministry to our wild flock.
Yet another breath-taking moment in the incredible
life of our little Church family...we are truly blessed!

Quotes:

Hard to top off the vision of Ruth in the birthday hat. It was a thrill to gather in Carl Bartlett's Room, a packed crowd like opening day at the ball park. We were the music.
Just imagine a Carl-like horn accompanying us....

I don't think I have ever seen Pastor Ruth at a loss for words. Happy celebration, great company, great food!  Jan and George Acker

The evening was filled with love and genuine admiration for a very special person. Thanks to all who made it happen.  Debbi Lord

Ruth, you are such a special person and we want to wish you a very Happy Birthday and many more.  Frank & I will never forget your support during the time I was battling cancer, it meant so much to us.  You have done so much for Church on the Cape and are so supportive of everyone.  Have a wonderful birthday! The Cooks

It was an honor to participate in Ruth's ??th and heartwarming to see the fellowship hall filled with so many loving souls. Ruth as usual was wearing her big smile and big heart. The food was delicious.
