Gratitude
“For the beauty
of the earth, for the
glory of the skies, for
the love which from
our birth, over and
around us lies; Lord of all, to thee we
raise this our hymn of grateful praise.”
As the season comes to a close, in
these very difficult times in our nation
and the world, I am so incredibly grate-
ful to have been in Bay View through it
all. The natural beauty feeds our souls
and the company of dear friends is a
source of strength. In my recent sermon
I talked about finding some little thing
to do that could make a difference in
our world. Let that be the task we take
home with us. Offer God our grateful
praise and let our gratitude guide us to
being a part of building a better world. Jill Petro and Mary McCarthy, McCune & Co. 2021

We not only met the challenge to collect
$1,000 in a week, but we collected over
$2,800 in a week. Not only did each win-
ner not win any prize, each one had to tell
us a little something about themselves.
Clancy and Darrel continue to banter with
each other, like Clancy said they are Mutt

was which. See you next week. If there is a
Potluck Dinner, we will hold BINGO at the
Campus Club Building at 7 p.m. If there is
NOT a Potluck Dinner, we will be in Hall

Calling all gardeners!
Sue Noble is looking for gardeners to take over caring for the Bell Tower flowers and also the Sunset Park roses.
We are so grateful that Sue has taken such good care of them but she would like to hand it off to a willing volunteer.
For any questions, you may contact Sue at 269.324.4159.
