Dear Church Family — We want to express our appreciation for all of the cards, calls, and prayer during mom’s illness and passing. She loved the prayer blanket and used it constantly. It stayed with her until the end. We believe that she was covered in prayer until she reached Heaven. We all appreciated having lunch in the C.L.C. after the funeral. It was comforting not to have to worry about a meal during that difficult time. The Handy Family JOYFUL SOUND THANKSGIVING BENEFIT CONCERT Sunday Evening, November 5th at 6 pm All proceeds from the love offering will go toward Thanksgiving baskets for those in need in our community.
