I Wonder...

There was no Children’s Sermon this last Sunday. We were celebrating All Saints’ Day. This is a Sunday when we remember and recognize the people in the church who have shared their faith and worked to grow our faith through the years. The service was a beautiful one. Jeannie Stuntz read stories of some of the people in our church we worked hard in the past to support us.
