PREACHER B’S BE-ATTITUDES Wednesday will be our last Fellowship Supper until the fall. Gratitude is expressed to Fat Tracy’s for catering our meals this year, and a special thank you to Carolyn Morrison from Fat Tracy’s for being at church almost every Wednesday evening to help serve our meals. Certainly, we want to express our thanks to Doris Ebert for a great job this year preparing our desserts and tea, making sure everything was ready each Wednesday, serving our meals and looking after clean-up of the kitchen. And of course we could not do Wednesday nights without a host of volunteers. Julie Winslow has looked after our volunteers this year making sure we were covered each Wednesday. Thank you to Julie and all of our volunteers! But we could not do Wednesday evenings without you, the church family. Thank you for supporting Wednesday nights, our meals and our program. Florence is a great place to be on Wednesday evening.
