Announcements
The farewell luncheon for Bruce and Shirley Brown has
been postponed. Due to changes in their
housing arrangement in Texas, they have to delay their departure. They’re disappointed, but that means we get
to keep them a while longer!
Our 30-Hour Famine food drive,
to benefit the
North Collins Food Pantry,
comes to a close
next Sunday, March 9th.
Drop off non-perishable
foods (boxed foods, cans, juice, rice, etc.)
to the table in
