We will be serving fried chicken, kettle beef and liver dumplings. The dinner tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children. You may dine in our air-conditioned hall or outside in the screened in area. There will be a Live Band and games for adults and children. Bingo will begin at 1:00 p.m. The top raffle prize is $1,000 cash. Our festivities start at 11:00 a.m. and continue until 5:00 p.m.

Bring your family and friends - we have something for everyone.

Thank you to all who have donated to the Country Store/Fancy Stand. We are still in need of handcrafted gifts, books, homemade jellies, jams, relishes, and gently used items.

We will need volunteers to assemble at 9:00 a.m. at St. Anne this Saturday, June 5th, to help clean the kitchen and get our grounds ready for the picnic.

Memorial Day Prayer

Dear Lord,

On this day, we remember thosewho have served us by protecting our freedoms. When we celebrate our long weekend

with our friends and family, help us remember, that our freedom to speak of you, and our freedom to worship you, and our freedom to do that which we ought to do, have all been bought at the price and sacrifice of many lives.

Your Son died for our eternal life in heaven. So too, your children died protecting us here on earth. Help us be mindful this weekend and always of the sacrifices made by those in uniform forall our freedoms.

Amen.
