Let me know if you could do this on August 17th. Also, looking ahead, at September 21, October 19, November 16, and December 21. Let me know if you can do any of these months.

Dear Friends,

The messages/lessons for this Sunday are all about “love,” – the “heart” rather than the “head” stuff.

Come; ponder all this with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
