Christian Loved and Concern
What a wonderful gesture of Christian love and concern some of us experienced last Monday (June 6th) as we prayed together for each other and particularly for our rector and priest as he mourn the loss of his older sister. The rector thanks Jeremy and all who were there last Monday. He would like you to know that the prayers lighten his sadness and refreshed his soul.
To the many members who sent emails, cards, gifts and shared kind and comforting words during this our time of mourning, we say thanks.
The Davidson
