WALK FOR THE CURE – MAY 23^rd

As many of you know, I, Patricia Dunlop, was recently diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. Two of my sisters have that disease and two members of the next generation are being checked. I want to do what I can to erase this terrible disease. I will be doing a walk on Sunday, May 23^rd and I’m trying to raise funds to help find the cure. IF you would like to join me in the fight against this terrible disease, please contact me at 651-455-4439. Donations and/or suggestions may be brought to the church office and marked as “Walk for the Cure.” Thank you for your consideration. Patricia Dunlop
