Verses of the Month

13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace

can escape any more than all the Jews. 14 “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and

deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father’s

house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time

as this?” ~ Esther 4:13,14

If/When there are changes in room assignments for classes, or if inserts for the bulletin are added after Friday afternoon, PLEASE inform the Secretary of such changes. You may call to let Mary know. Thanks!
