Thanks for the support for David’s family as we buried his sister and her son-in-law yesterday. God gave us plenty of sunshine just when we needed it. We also enjoyed great family fellowship as we ate and visited together after the service.
I’m looking forward to having a gathering of “Helping Hands” Saturday to work on various projects for our “Shoeboxes”. There will be something for everyone, male and female, youth and older folks. We will meet in the fellowship hall from 9-12 on the 24th. Bring a finger food to share.
