WHAT’S HAPPENING AT SMC . . .
Congratulations
to Isaac Ramseyer on completing all of his Bible Memory verses.
Thank
You! To all of you dear SMC’ers who sent caring notes, phone calls, and called our

forward to again being at SMC, mid to late May.
Lovingly, Lewy and Betty Ebersole

cell block and all those in the jail. Martha Miller
