A note from Sue Hopkins, Church President

Nan's going to be with us a while longer! Our church administrator, Nan Smith, has been unable to sell her home, and therefore must reluctantly postpone her move to Texas until her house sells. Regarding the celebration we had planned to honor Nan on September 14, all elements will be placed on hold until the appropriate time. Let's keep Nan in our prayers, in hopes that she will be able to realize her dream in the shortest amount of time possible, and that we will soon be able to celebrate the conclusion of her time with us.
