Blog to continue

Happy New Year everyone,

Due to the retirement of our tech savvy minister, Nan, I have accepted the challenge of continuing the Blog. It has been awhile since I have made any posts and my brain is not as active as it was 7 years ago when I managed the blog before. I will try to post all announcements and photos of church events. I would appreciate it if you would contribute to this venture by sending me articles and photos to post. Living in Judique, I don't always get to attend church functions in town. Please feel free to make suggestions, after all this is your Blog!

Peace,
Camille Chapman
