Auxiliary News
Happy New Year Auxilians and families,
Prayers you have a Safe, Happy and Blessed New Year. It is very hard to believe that we are through 2023, and off to new adventures in 2024 already!
At the December meeting/Christmas party the ladies had a fun time chatting and enjoying the meal and goodies that were shared. It was a great evening of time spent together. The ladies met very briefly at the Christmas party. We talked a little about groups to donate to for our February meeting.
January – we will not be doing the coat check at the
Concertina bowl. Please volunteer to help out in any other area, if able.
Prayer intentions are for Joan S., and Elizabeth. Prayers for those intentions held deep within our hearts. Praying that 2024 is a great year
for all.

Yours in Christ,
Elyssa Bliss, President
