Please pray for all of our deceased members, they are sadly
missed by their family and friends. Have a nice summer, have fun and stay well. Please remember:
We cannot cure the world
of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.
Blessed is the season
which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.
Make yourself necessary to someone.
Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due.
