Brian & Patty Brasch THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
Amanda Monday, June 24, celebrates the birth of
Craig Braun John the Baptist, exactly six months
Quinlan, Kendall, Ashton, Emry before Christmas Eve. According to
tradition, John was born as the days are
longest and then steadily decrease, while
Jesus was born as the days are shortest
and then steadily increase. Hmmm….

We just finished our second week of Meals on

Wheels. I wish to give a BIG Thank You to our
delivery people this week:
Dick & Barb Adams
Leona Pfeifer
Mike & Margie Frank The garden area just to the south of the
Integrated Life Choices Fellowship Hall has been newly
Carol Waggoner landscaped and looks amazing. All the
Carolyn Wilcox new plantings were thoroughly watered in
Carol Severa on Tuesday morning! Along with thanks
Jerry & Janice Sokol to Marcus & Adam Echtenkamp for their
Thank you all for volunteering! mowing expertise, we will be the
Carol Sorsen landscaped talk of Norfolk!
