**The noisy offering being collected each Sunday for the next ten months will go to Tegan’s Light. Tegan’s light was formed by Mike & Cindy Titze and their daughter, Laney, to honor the memory of their son/brother, Tegan. In March, 2024, Tegan took his own life. Their family has banded together to fight the stigma and devastation of suicide through awareness and forming relationships with others who struggle. There are many who have a family member/friend that struggles with mental illness. If you would like to know more about Tegan’s Light, there is a Facebook page to research. You can find pictures, events, updates on the family, their projects and information regarding their fight to improve mental health awareness. Please remember this family in your prayers as we continue to support them in their amazing efforts in this project.
**We extend our sympathy to Alan and Karli Spaans and family following the death of Karli’s mother, Kathy Rajewich. The funeral for Kathy was this past week. Please remember this family in your prayers.
