+Remember Ellie Didriksen in Your Prayers+

The daughter of parishioner Ellie Didriksen, who has been a resident of Memory Care at Meridian Village for several years, recently contacted St. Andrew's to request that we pray for Ellie, who is in her last days. Ellie and her husband Caleb became members of St. Andrew's about 2002. Ellie was a delightful person who sang in the choir and was involved in the Prayer Shawl ministry.
