OUR CHURCH FAMILY PRAYER CORNER
Congratulations to Claire B (26), Beverley C (26), Spencer H (27) & Gerald B (30) celebrating birthdays!
I just want to thank everyone who supported me during my treatments…everyone who was part of the meal train, the prayer chain, everyone who called, dropped by or wrote encouraging notes. Also for the beautiful flowers & plants, and for snow shovelling! Your caring and help is much appreciated. Yvonne M
