A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR
Beloved Community,

A longtime member of our church family, Pat Larson, passed away last night after her brave decision to end her weekly dialysis treatments. We celebrate her life and mourn her passing. No plans for a memorial have yet been made.

Cards of condolences to Pat's son, Todd, would be appreciated.

Thank you for the Pray Their Names exhibit. Charlotte and I went this afternoon and it was very poignant, walking through saying the names. I hardly noticed the cars driving by. Charlotte was asking what all the people's names were.
