In an issue of The Citizen earlier this month, the report of the Brussels United Church Women’s May meeting incorrectly identified Joan Bernard as showing pictures and telling of her trip to China. It was actually Pastor Sandra Cable who travelled to China and gave a presentation on the trip. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
