Caring Community Notes
All joy to congregants celebrating wedding anniversaries this week: Jane Ramberg and Michael Bastian married 40 years, and Lou Ann and Galen King married 55 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with many; Aleluya Mourwel recovering from successful surgery, Carolyn McMurray recovering from a fall and shoulder surgery, Susan and Harald Poelchau as Susan begins cancer treatment, and Lu Gaston preparing for lung surgery on Monday. We hold Erin Moore and Rev. Beth Dana, Erin’s father Danny and brother Matt in our hearts as they mourn the death of Erin’s mother, Brenda, on Aug. 16.
