Thank You for the Soup!

The Missions Committee would like to thank you for bringing soup for kids served by End 68 Hours of Hunger. Their tummies will be a little warmer thanks to your generosity!

Fellowship, Food, Fun & Football

Though no one was particularly impressed with the game – or the halftime show – the commercials brought some comic relief. But EVERYONE, young and old(er) had a great time feasting on game day food. Many thanks to Tony and Jane Brannan for hosting at their home … and we all sang Happy Birthday to Jane on her birthday!
