Kelly Marie, daughter of Bruce and Donna Parnall, Aaron Ian, son of Ian and Barbara Wallace and Jill Lindsay, daughter of William and Sharon Carnochan. In his sermon, Mr. Brown used the parable of the rich fool, to point out our ac­ countability to God, saying that we are accountable for life’s priorities, and must choose with care that to which we give our primary allegiance. We are also accountable for life’s blessings and for our life’s decisions and one day we too. like the rich fool, will have to give an ac­ count to God for the life we have lived on earth and of the faith we have placed, or refused to place, in Jesus Christ.
