Dear Church Family,

I hope everyone has had a good weekend! I wish I could say I did, however I spent the weekend in the hospital. I will be working shorter hours this week and apologize if I don’t get everything done like normal. I appreciate all the prayers for me and my family as we go through this stressful time.
