The flowers on the altar this morning were given in memory of Elizabeth Giberson and
in memory of our deceased Saints.
A very big THANK YOU from the United Methodist Women to all those who contributed
to making the bazaar such a huge success. Over $1280.00 was realized from your efforts.
The Worship Committee is looking for a volunteer to coordinate altar flowers for Sunday
services. Contact Margaret Cyr (493-3028) if you can help.

Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel good.
