Parents of Teens!
Be sure to check the

CD’s with information on parenting “Tween Ages.” Feel free to use, and maybe
return when you’re finished so that others may benefit as well.
Here Kitty, Kitty…
Two cats are up for
adoption following Helena Cranmer’s move to the Manor. Monique is a 13 year-old, fully vaccinated and spayed indoor lap cat.
She needs a quiet home. Half Pint is a 3 year-old, fully vaccinated and
leukemia tested, spayed indoor/outdoor cat with beautiful blue eyes and long
hair. If you are interested or know of someone who can provide a home for
one of these kitties, contact Patty Dean at 536-1185 (hm), 315-719-2819 (cell),
536-9871 (wk).
In order to grow this
church we need to get out all kinds of information on what takes place here.
Right now the way to do this is for you to contact Shelley Bicksler at
585-526-6845 or leave a note in her box. Shelley does her best to write the
column for the Chronicle-Express, but, she needs your help. Be sure to let her
know of upcoming events, meetings, and plans! Let’s get the word out!

Christian One Liners:
¨ Some
people are kind, polite and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.
¨ The
good Lord didn’t create anything without purpose, but mosquitoes come close.
¨ When
you come to your wit’s end, you’ll find God lives there.
¨ People
are funny they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road and the back
of the church.

worries get the best of you; remember Moses started out as a basket case. |
