We are sad to share that Barbara Ann Kelly has died after a long battle with dementia. As her son Louis wrote to us: "The church, and all of her friends in it, were the centerpiece of her life for over fifty years. We will hold a Memorial service at the church, complete with a display of her stone sculptures, sometime later this year. Barbara lived all over the world, from Brazil to New Zealand, but it was your world that she lived in most, and held dearest."
Please contact Louis for more details about a memorial tree and a Facebook remembrance page, as well as information on a service later this year.
We hold Louis and all of Barbara's family in the light. - Rev. John

Mystery Pen Pals anyone? Children (7th grade and younger) and adults are invited to participate in our annual Mystery Pen Pals. We anonymously pair an adult and child from the congregation together to write letters to each other for a few weeks. Because of the pandemic, we probably will rely on the USPS, but who doesn’t love a letter in the mail? If you are interested, contact Nate. Please sign up by Sunday, January 31, 2021.
