I know that Connie Tuthill would rather be fishing, but instead she is convalescing nicely. I am happy to do what I can to aid in her recovery.
Many of us are recovering from attacks of laughter brought on by Sister Sue Tracy, the consumption of Bob Dininny’s fine food, the presence of friends and family, the enjoyment of the flowers on the tables, and the delight of being waited upon by a great team of men at out Mother/Child Luncheon in May. There were nearly 70 people in attendance. A big THANK YOU is due to all who made it a fine occasion.
There is more fun and food in store for our June 24th Summer Refresher. At 10 am, meet in the church parking lot to car pool to the home of Jackie Holdsworth, 16631 29-Mile Rd., where you can enjoy lunch prepared by the UMW Team members, fellowship, and for those able and willing, a labyrinth walk, a walk in the woods, or just being in the country with your friends.
Don’t miss the opportunity to attend School of Christian Mission, July 20-23, 4-day school, or July 24th for the Drive-In Day. Registration deadline is July 1st. Take advantage of the school being at Albion College. It may be held further away next year. Registration forms are in the church office. The studies are on the Epistles of John, The Beauty and Courage of Sudan, and Mission in the Age of Global Christianity. Consider bringing your children and/or grandchildren. Youth and children fees are only $40 for four days.
Counting you all as special blessings,
Donna Donna Williams,
Vice-President
