We will cover our theological understanding of life and death. We will discuss various difficulties that have arisen with end-of-life issues. We will also talk about your funeral. I will have books available that will guide some of our thinking and planning. In order to have enough, please sign up at the entrance of the church. I hope to see you all there.

Made with Love Club โ Julie Fisher, the woman who crocheted 80 blankets has passed away from cancer. Blankets were given away to local mission groups and went around the U.S. and the world. If you or someone you know knits or crochets, give them my phone number (291-4510). I would love to have more people sewing dresses and shorts too. s/Ms. Freda
