Should you not find your name tag, please make a note of that on the Friendship Pad and we will have one for next week. Thank you for your cooperation. - The Membership Committee  BOOK REVIEW GROUP Reverend Malcolm Shields will review STONE COLD a novel by David Baldacci at our May 14 meeting.

We will find some Biblical themes and moral dilemmas to explore in this suspense novel. Join us on Wednesday, May 14 at 11:00 a.m. in the church parlor.  ARE YOU INTERESTED?
