Thanks Everyone for Welcoming the Little Church with the Open Door

Thanks to all of you who helped furnish it and assemble the congregation. Dolls were given by Laura Howie, Ellen O'Neal-Waite, the Cordovas, and Alan and Linda Wyatt. Linda Carney and Gini Johnson sponsored dolls, and Rosel Patton and Madeline Silva helped to dress dolls, Joanne Hart and the sixth grad made the hymnals. The brass candlesticks on the offering table were made by Ken Mandile, and Diane Mandile made the flower arrangement.

Alana Wyatt was the search committee for the minister, the Rev. Aaron B. Little, and was the recruiter for dolls. She and her mother, Linda trekked up to New Hampshire with me and helped select purchases sponsored by others. They made many contributions of dolls and other details I never would have thought of. I thank you all for your contributions!
