Nov. 6th

We are having beautiful weather  with a cool front coming in Thursday ☂ Probably no rain but you never can tell Sunday Church was very enjoyable with Rev. Tom Cassidy, we had an organist, Jan Delashmit, 37 in attendance I have made some new badges for new folks this week, anyone wanting one may get them from me, use your old badge, or I have a few pin on badges. It was neat meeting some new folks this morning and the meeting was interesting.
