A bighuge THANK YOU to all those ladies and men who provided all those delicious soups and desserts for last Saturday’s Soup Supper. Also to those great young people who assisted at the tables: Andrew Hunn, II, Santana Chinevere, Natalie Knutson, Isabella Knutson, and London Kozlowski. A special thanks goes out to all those who
supported us by attending our soup supper. We served 118 people and realized a profit of $710.83 which will help pay down the church debt.
