Congregational Announcements
“Dear Church Family,
I would like to thank the many friends who cared for my sister Catherine during her last illness. She was greatly loved by so many as shown by visits, flowers & other ways. It was hard to see her suffer, but
knowing where she is now, I believe she would say “It was worth it all”
On April 16th I completed 6 weeks of occupational therapy on my right shoulder, which was injured when I fell in Sept. I have better movement in my right arm, however there were limitations due to injury & arthritis, so they did all they could, and I learned helpful exercises which I want to continue. I appreciate getting the bulletin each week. May the Blessing of the Lord be upon you.”
-Pauline Good
