If you haven’t renewed your membership for 2024 yet, there is still some time. I have extended the deadline to be included in this year’s membership directory until April 15. Thank you to everyone who has renewed their memberships, we greatly appreciate it. We are now up to 67 members for this year as of today. This is still a lot less than the 128 we had last year. Prayerfully consider renewing your membership if you haven’t already.
