Sunday School Announcement
St.David’s Sunday School would like to thank Emma Rhynold for the valuable contribution she has made in ensuring the Sunday School classes were successful. Over the last few years Emma has taken time from her busy schedule to prepare/deliver lessons for the children attending Sunday School. She was able to enrich the lives of these young boys and girls through the love and commitment she had for their best interest.
We are truly grateful to her. Also, we wish her continued success as she moves forward to attend University. We know that she is a person who will continue to accept the opportunity to have a positive impact on others.
Wishing you all the best Emma and God‘s blessing.
