ANNOUNCEMENTS

   Anyone wishing to have a prayer card of Kevin and Liz Schouten, may take one from the table in the foyer.  There is not enough for every mailbox for now, but in the new year, I hope to have enough new ones to distribute to the congregation.  These I have now do not have the second daughter, Johanna, in the photo.  Also, the prayer card of Wayne and Lynn Ten Harmsel that was beside the Christmas cards on the table, went missing, and I'd like to have it back.  If people would like a prayer card of them, ask me and I can try to order some.  Those cards were handed out a few years ago.  Ellen H.
