Gee, won't you be glad when
spring comes? Am sure we all
feel the same as the author of
the little jingle, “Roses are red,
Icicles are blue. I’ll be glad.
When this winter is through.”
So glad we could get together
this morning. It seems the shut
in list is growing daily, due to
colds and flu. We sincerely hope
it won't be too long before you
are able to be out.
Into each life some sadness and
dark hours come, so to these we
extend sympathy and pray a
brighter tomorrow will dawn
soon.
Attendance for church services
continues to drop off, but w e
know there is much sickness and
we hope we can soon have full
attendance. We were so happy
to have Capt. Robert 0. Shannon
and daughter, Kay of Cape Cod
in services with us. We welcome
you to worship with us anytime.
