WELCOME to our NEWEST COYOTE!

We're pleased to announce the arrival of a healthy baby boy, Luke, born on Oct. 26, to teacher Sheldon and Isabelle Habben. We thank God for his safe arrival! Mom and baby are doing well and glad to be safe at home. Luke was baptized the following day, and we pray that God keeps him in his baptismal grace all the days of his life. Congratulate them here.
