how has your summer been?? can you believe summer is more than half over? have you caught any festivals or summer shows with Toby & the Diverse City Band?
don’t want to sound like a broken record, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience with delays in updates and getting new friends and members added. unfortunately your prayer group Moderator (me!) has had some challenges this summer that has made circumstances in her personal life get in the way up updating here as much as she wants to. hopefully you’ve been too busy praying on your own to notice :-)
but here we are again, with updates and news highlights. read this WHOLE post or you might miss something!
