OUR SYMPATHY
to the family and friends of
Betty Marcus
It is my sad duty to inform you that Betty Marcus went to be with the Lord last night after a recent downturn in her health. I will always remember Betty for her warmth and kindness toward me whenever I would visit her. She was an excellent conversationalist and always made her visitors feel right at home.
There will be a memorial service for Betty at Northminster at a date that is yet to be determined. Please hold the Marcus family in your prayer during this difficult time.

Blessings,
Pastor Rich

PREGNANCY CHOICES
Baby Bottle Return is Needed
We've been contacted by Pregnancy Choices concerning the baby bottles distributed on April 8. Their records show that 50 bottles were given out, but just 19 returned.

They are very grateful for the donations, but would like the other bottles to be returned even if no donation is included. They reuse the bottles for the ongoing campaigns throughout the year. If you have a bottle at home, please bring it by the church office or leave at the Welcome Desk on Sunday and we will get them back to the ministry.
