Gratitude and best wishes

Throughout November the Webster City Ministerial Association offers reminders about gratitude. Do you have children in your life? Children of all ages are a gift – they see the world differently than adults, and often express joy and energy and hope in ways that brighten the world around them.

Join us Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church where this season of Thanksgiving is shared with all in the community.
