Dear Friends in Christ,
I hope that you all had some of that wonderful rain last night! I don't know how much we received here on 4th Street, but it was certainly refreshing! I forgot how it felt to be cold!
I received this announcement this morning from the Quay County Health Council's Intimate Partner Task Force, again with a safety-related program. A flyer is attached inviting us to a Self-Defense Demonstration. The program is limited to 15 people.
Special thanks to every single one of you for your prayers and help this weekend, as we celebrated Lavone Bond's life. Please continue to hold Keith and all the family in your prayers as they adjust to this new life.
Also a huge thanks to Emily Priddy for her special music yesterday - "It Is Well With My Soul." We all probably needed to hear that.
Yesterday's Session Meeting is going to be rescheduled, more than likely for this Sunday at 9:30AM. I will know for certain tomorrow morning.

Amanda and family (a co-worker of Kenna's) - having a hard time
Amy (Glenna Gray’s daughter) chronic medical issues

I will be bringing communion to those whom I missed seeing last week. It was a busy week.
This Saturday, the Farmer's Market will be having its final event of the year. Come out at 10 for the Harvest Festival at Wailes Park! I will see you there. '
