Announcements for 12-26-21

Thank you to the carolers who stopped by last Sunday evening to sing a number of the familiar Christmas carols of old. The cookie plate was a very thoughtful gesture and will be great with my morning coffee. ~ Betty Vanden Heuvel & Ruth Hocking

Thank you we wish to thank Sharon Postma for bringing Christmas Carolers to our home.  It was great to share in the Christmas spirit with the singing of Christmas Carols.  God Bless You All.    ~ Hyman & Arietta Beyenhof

Thank you to the 54 carolers for your time, singing talents and most importantly for sharing your love of Jesus on our recent caroling mission.
