Dear Friends at Limehouse Presbyterian Church,

Thank you so much for your generous support of the ministry with the kids here in the Cariboo.  We have VBS happening in at least 3 communities this summer that I know of, and those ministries also extend through the year with after school and evening programmes for the kids in 2 of the communities.  We appreciate your prayers and support and the interest you've shown in God's work here among us.

Blessings,
Shannon Bell

Please continue to use the toonie jar for ongoing mission support. Thank you.
