Dear Church Family, July 3, 2024
Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone has a great holiday. We are planning a BBQ with kids and grand-kids. My daughter Juliet and her husband Ben are moving to Cambridge, MA this weekend so she can attend Harvard Law School. Please pray that Ben passes the bar and is able to find a lawyer position soon. I am having a hard time thinking she is going to be so far away!
