Dear colleagues,
Thank you so much for the suggestions about how to create some things
to act out --during the Season of Lent.
I will take these ideas to our Worship committee of the Pitt St
Uniting Church where Jim and I and the Telfords worship..
I deeply appreciate all the work you have done on our behalf over
the last many years.
In gratitude,
Isobel Bishop.
