A Note of Thanks from Patty Clark our Music Director

I am so grateful for all of the heartfelt words of condolence, cards, flowers and support from first church folks on the passing of my mom. I feel so fortunate that she has been able to “attend” First Church for the past several years and connect with Ian, the choir, and all of you. That has been a true gift.
