The Week In Review
This past Sunday was the third in the three-part series on the book of Revelation. After reminding us of the
challenges that we will all have to face (symbolized in Revelation by the Four Horsemen), Pastor Loretta pro-
ceeded to tell us the good news of the new heaven and the new earth described in Revelations’ final two
chapters. She assured us that God does not give up on us, and that God wants to make all things new in
each of our lives.
Congratulations!
Diane G and Barbara K successfully completed the
City of Hamilton’s Food Handler Certification
Course and are getting ready for our fall cooking
classes. Both of them help with the Good Food Box
cooking class, children's cooking class, Steps to
Health, and the Outdoor Cooking garden.
Congratulations Barbara and Diane!
