Dolliver House – Stephen has officially moved into the Dolliver House, and all is well. However, he still needs the following items: a bed and mattress (twin or queen), any size sheets (for two beds), a bureau, and a small power lawnmower.

 

Pastoral Cards--This month, we need a volunteer to write/help write the encouraging notes we send regularly on behalf of the parish.  We have cards in the office or you may use your own; they are very much appreciated. Please email Joan joan@bromage.us. Thanks!
