Hello Everyone!
It was so wonderful to see everyone last Saturday as together we celebrated Don’s 90th Birthday Celebration. Thank you to Rose and all her wonderful helpers who made this event so special. Such a group of happy, grateful people who came together to celebrate Don and the friendships each of us have shared over many, many years.
HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY DON FROM YOUR FAMILY AT HOPEDALE!
Spring officially started March 19th, and we had snow!!!! Crazy weather!
Debbie is away from March 21st until March 30th. Shirley Dunlop will be covering her role on Palm Sunday! Thank you Shirley!
Please continue to pray for Rev. Sean Foster, Bonnie, and the kids. Sean’s mobility challenges as a result of ALS have had a large impact on him and the family.
Please continue to bring in your empty milk bags and tops of pop cans.
The Scripture Reading for this Sunday, the 24th includes:
Matthew 21: 1-11. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week with Jesus’ triumphant entering into Jerusalem, then later Jesus’ betrayal, then the Last supper on Maundy Thursday, and the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. And then we have Easter when Christ is resurrected!
