RECOGNIZING GOOD DEEDS
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
So then, as we have opportunity let us do good to everyone, and especially to those
who are of the household of faith.” ~Galatians 6-9
We would like to recognize those that are doing good deeds. If you see someone or hear someone doing a good deed, we would like to hear from you. Send just the name to htpreschool@gmail.com. We have a bulletin board in the Sunday School hallway to recognize fellow parishioners who show support and love for others by word or deed.
