Sharing Our Stories of Remembrance and Hope
Throughout August, we are sharing our stories of remembrance and hope on two bulletin boards in Frampton Fellowship Hall. We invite those who wish to share stories, memories, feelings, photos, tokens, etc. of things, people, and places that were lost as well as those things and memories that brought you hope in the midst of the recovery. You may hand write your stories or submit them via email to Pastor Sarah who will print them off and add them to the display.
