Bishop Melissa inspired and calmed all of us with her sermon bringing together today's Gospel reading and the suffering of many throughout France in the last 48 hours. There was a pot luck luncheon in the Hall after the service, then a meeting with Mission Council. The Bishop commented during the luncheon on the positive, welcoming feeling of the congregation. There has been growth in both the spirit and numbers of our community since her last visit.
Bishop Melissa was photographed with Melissa, Melissa's twin daughters and Mother.
A big thank you to Virginia Hooper and Patricia O'Connor as well as all those responsible for preparing and serving the food and setting up and taking down the Hall.
