With sure and certain hope of the resurrection into eternal life, we commend into God’s hands this sheep of our fold, God’s beloved servant Harland. We are so thankful for his life and that we were a part of it. We hold his family in our prayers. His memorial will be held at a later time.

All ages came together for yummy food, fellowship and time to reflect together on the promises of Psalm 23. Jesus fed us as we served one another Communion around the table!

A huge thank you to our Outreach and Hospitality Committee as well as Jon Lund, Christy Tomlinson, Ann Naslund and others for their assistance in putting this together, and a big thank you as well to Brooke Joyce and our wonderful VBS Quartet!
