THANK YOU ~ for your prayers last week as I traveled nearly 400 miles from Buffalo to Albany with the Erie Canal Bike Tour. Though I am a bit tired now, I am generally feeling great to have been able to make the full distance. As I shared before leaving, I along with Paul Penner will be heading for Nepal in  November with Habitat for Humanity. If you would like to sponsor us, your gifts would be most welcome. Your contributions will go toward materials to help build the homes as well as for our travel costs. Checks may be made out to Doug Wilson, Paul Penner or to Habitat for Humanity and dropped off or mailed to the church office. Thanks for your help. Blessings, Doug

FYI ~  Laura McIntyre will be relocating to Colorado at the end of July to be near her family, Peter & Becky Bone. If you get a chance be sure to stop and see her or send her a card before she leaves!

WELCOME ~  to our congregations Linda Doud!
