HAPPY SPRING (??) TO ALL! Our Easter services went well with many people worshipping with us during this Holy season. Flowers decorated the alter and were given in memory of loved ones by Bernice Nowell, Irene Jewett, Brenda Dubois, Darlene Tilton, Lorna Rogers, John and Amy Wagner, and Beth Bellows.
The monthly Flea Market and Bake Sales will once again be held at the Grange Hall starting on Saturday, May 26th, from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM. They will be held the last Saturday of each month through October. Contact Donna Thompson, 744-6858, if you have items to donate. We are trying to raise money for the Grange Hall repairs, beginning with the cupola which is in desperate need of attention. If you would like to donate towards GH restoration work, you may do so by sending a check of any amount to the ACC, (memo – GH restoration,) PO Box 211, E. Andover NH 03231.
