ing was held April 25 at St.
Andrew’s Presbyterian Church,
Wingham.
Rev. Stan Soltysik, pastor of
Sacred Heart Church, Wingham,
led the group in grace. Over 130
people enjoyed an excellent dinner
prepared by the ladies of St.
Andrew’s. Thanksgiving and medi

costly to care and love like Jesus
does.
