We Appreciate You Pastor Annemarie! |
| |
|
October was Pastor Appreciation Month, so Peggy Wagner swung into action. She got the word out and soon notes started arriving for our pastor. On Sunday we presented her with a gift bag full of cheer. The Children of Hope Preschool also got in the act, painting pictures and creating a colorful banner.
Thank you Pastor Annemarie!

Rabbit resides in the garden
Surrounded by vines.
To slake her thirst,
I leave water in a little bowl,
And to thank me,
Rabbit
Chews up my orange marigolds,
Leaving
Behind only the nubs of stems.
Rabbit has it good,
I think,
Brushing away the mess she
Creates
Entering and exiting her home, and then
Comes the happy revelation…
So do I!
