CANDLEWOOD LUNCHES Thank you to all who helped with the Candlewood lunches this past week. Thank you for volunteering and for providing food and supplies. A special thank you to Cheryl Heinold and Marilyn Feigl for organizing the lunches this year.

THANK YOU Thanks to all who kept us in their thoughts and prayers over the past 6 weeks. Barry and I were blessed by those who called, sent messages and cards, drove us to doctor appointments/groceries and spent some time to visit and socialize. We are truly blessed by our church family here at New Beginnings. Elaine & Barry Skold
