MISSING FROM IC

If you borrowed the brown 5ft table from IC, it is time to bring it home.  Thank you!

Dear Parishioners,

Thanks to all who donated food and labor, picking up food from Hannaford’s at 7 in the morning, packing the food into boxes, delivering food and of course, to those who donated money.  The money was GREAT.  I told you what little I had and you gave.  The Cookie Man and his sweet wife made bags of cookies for 50 boxes.  Such devotion from all of you shows your love for your fellow man.  You provided food for 122 adults and 100 children.  I never doubted for a minute that you’d come through and make everything work out.  It was, and is, a labor of love.  Thank you all!

~Anna
