Thank you to all who
cooked and brought food for the Mustard Seed last Friday. Everyone loved
the different kinds of chicken and many came back for seconds. Donna, who
runs the program, asked us to tell you that she is “deeply, deeply grateful”
for all the toiletry items that were donated for the Christmas stockings.
