I will do a new thing;

Now shall it spring forth;

Will you not be aware of it?

I will even make a roadway in

the wilderness,

Rivers in the desert.

Happy Easter! “Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there!” – Clarence W. Hall

How thankful we are for Easter! It is one of the most important parts of our Christian faith. Library news: Our 5th annual Candy Count Contest was a wonderful success. Many people ogled the candy to make their guesses. What fun fellowship in the library for February!

We wish you a wonderful Easter season filled with joy, hope, and faith. Spread the love of Jesus, and drop by to read some books!
