really appreciate the people of Nobleford and the way you’ve continued to strengthen

well, and that his visa will be granted swiftly and with no problems. Thank you
all so much for your kindness toward us, and may God continue to bless you
richly. Deji & Mandy

well. She was directed to carefully choose how to use the rest of what she
has left and that her condition will not improve but get more painful. the bone & cartilage part, she
still faces the muscle & inflammatory part next month.
I
want to thank you for all your prayers, for the delicious meals you brought,

We are entering our last month of Sunday School and we are planning for Grade
six graduation on June 6. We ask that if your child is in Grade 1-6
Sunday School, and especially if they are in grade 6, that you plan to be in
church on June 6 for this special celebration. The collection taken in
Sunday School for the months of April and May is being designated to the Dan
& Melody Konynenbelt family, as they have been in our hearts and prayers
throughout this Sunday School season. We will not have Sunday School next
Sunday, May 9 due to Mother's Day. We humbly ask for your prayers and
support as we finish this season of learning, worship and fun.
