Hello Everyone!
This week has been so cold! A bit of snow, but not much! Don’t we all wish we were sitting on a lounge chair in the Caribbean!
Our Annual Meeting is coming up in February, and this is a longer February- 29 days! We thought a daytime meeting would work best for most people’s schedules. Our meeting has been scheduled for 3 pm on Thursday February the 29th in the Gathering Place. Also Cheri would like pictures and stories for the Annual Report.
We heard the difficult news about Rev. Sean Foster’s diagnosis of ALS last week. Sean’s mobility has really been compromised. We are all praying for Sean and the family. A close family friend has started a Go-Fund me to help support the Foster Family as they navigate this journey. If you are able to and would like to contribute to the Go Fund me - here is the Link. Please feel free to share with those who know the Foster Family. https://gofund.me/3d76d6a5
Please continue to pray for Sean, Bonnie, and the kids.
