EYEGLASSES NEEDED:
MOST Ministries will be taking a Mission Trip to Nicaragua next

for eyeglasses - adult, children, non-prescription sunglasses, and
over-the-counter reading glasses. Glasses
cases would also be appreciated. Jean Voelker
has put a box in the narthex for this collection and will see that the glasses
get to someone going on this trip. Your
donations will bring sight!
“THE COOK FAMILY would like to thank everyone for their generosity. The cards were very touching, and the gifts
are truly appreciated! The way that you
have blessed not only Emily and myself, but also all of our children is one of
the reasons we will always consider you our family. God’s richest blessings to you all.” – Pastor, Emily, & Family
"THANK YOU for your prayers, kind words, cards, flowers, and visits at the passing
of our dear husband and father, Jay Lemmon.
A special thanks to Pastor Cook for his comforting words and to all who
donated food for the funeral lunch." - Cindy, Kayla, and Kylie Lemmon
