Dear Fourth Church, Here are some reminders regarding this Sunday, August 29. After each morning service, Ron and his wife Michele will be in The Commons. Please stop by to thank Ron for his 18 years of pastoring at Fourth. He has been a silent servant over the years and we will miss him greatly as a pastor but we are thankful that he and Michele will continue to worship here at Fourth. If you want to write a note of thanks, cards are available in Halverson Hall or you can bring your own. Later that evening we hope you will join us at 6 p.m. for a Hymn Sing led by Sandra McCracken and her husband, Tim Nicholson. This will be a joyous time to worship and be in fellowship with one another. More information can be found below. Grace to you,  Genna Repich For the Communications Team
