-Emily Pfautz, a friend of Darlas, is going through some very difficult times and
could use the help of the church. Her most urgent need is for a vehicle to replace
her old one so that she can get back and forth to work, etc. She has been offered a
very good vehicle for $1000 and a very generous offer of a $500 matching donation
if we can raise $500 as well. Please use the box on the Narthex table or mark your
offering envelope accordingly if you wish to help. Talk to Darla, Lester or Steve if
you have questions.
Happy Birthday! Steve McCosby on Mon., Bob Schorle on Tues., Clinton Good
