Sarah Stephenson and Dorothy
Steffler were in charge of the

Spring" was read by Dorothy
followed by the hymn The Day of
Resurrection.
Sarah read the scripture, John 20,
verses 1 - 19. The meditation
"Easter Is Over" was given by
Dorothy. She spoke of Mary, who
was the first person to see Jesus.
The hymn Rejoice the Lord is King

Sarah introduced the guest

gone to Nicaragua to help in the
"Raise the Roof' project, putting a
roof on a school in Bluefields.
London Conference had been asked
for help so every two weeks in

Irene and she gave a very
informative talk.
Sarah thanked the speaker and
presented her with a gift.
