(L-R) Rev. Marge Palmer, Carol & John Ladoceour, Janet Adams

Throughout the years, our congregation has lost a number of  members and close friends.  They contributed immeasurably to our church and community and they will be greatly missed. We want to remember them in our prayers. Above all we thank God for the hope of the Resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ that binds us to the world unseen.
