GOOD NEWS
Last Sunday’s store card
sale yielded the most receipts ever, at almost $3,000.
Thanks to all who continue to purchase the cards every week.
Five percent of the sales goes into the van procurement fund.
BAD NEWS
On top of his fight with
high blood pressure, Pastor now is coping with high blood sugar and began a new
medicine for the latter on Friday. He thanks all of those who kindly gave him
all those wonderful candies, cakes, pies, cookies etc. over the years, but sadly
must ask that such gifts no longer come his way. (He also goes for another
stress test on Tuesday.)

for ordering flowers to beautify our Easter sanctuary.
So far, only 21 have been ordered, which is 30 less than usual.

the balcony ceiling. The Property Committee has approved the plan and so has
Council, pending your endorsement.
