Condolences
Sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Lenny Mann. Lenny was a friendly and happy-go-lucky man. Even through his long battle with cancer, he always had time for a conversation. Many will remember seeing him at the fall fair with his smile and hi to everyone he knew. May those struggling with his passing take comfort in knowing that the district is holding you all in our thoughts and prayers.

ROBIN’S 2 CENTS
A man goes to church one Sunday to sing and give praise to God.
When he returns home, he lifts his wife off her feet, then lets her down after some time.
The wife, with all smiles and blushes, says to him, “You really showed that you love me today; you should go to church more often.” She then continued, “What happened at church today?”
The man simply replied, “The pastor said that when we get home, we should lift up our problems to God.”
