Glenda Wiener, Bonnie Driscoll, Jim Driscoll, Judy Renken, Lynne Bogh, Kay Michaelson, Robin Grosenheider, Lois Winecoff, Virginia Brangwin, Iris Hemmingson, Linda Mayrose, Marge Adler, Sally De Boer and Pastor Marcia.
The sound quality is much better and it is much simpler to record to. If you haven't listened to "thoughts" in a while, give it a try. If you used to record but haven't in a while, call the office to put your name back on the list to recite the recordings, the machine is much simpler to use.
You can make a big difference with just a small amount of change. The Mt. Ararat Hope fund helps provide the Kurdish people domestic poultry, eggs and meat to the people who lost all their flocks due to the bird flu outbreak. This project allows us to make in-roads in the Moslem part of the world. It is also our duty to help feed people who need our help. Please consider making the Wishing Well Jar a stop each time you visit the Church. Whether it is a dime, quarter or dollar, every penny is well spent. A little change can make a huge difference in the lives of the Kurds. Thank you to all who have contributed to the Wishing Well Jar of Hope in the lobby.
Let's continue to feed our Wishing Well Jar, so we can continue to feed others!!!
