Did you know the Gospels were written in this order: Mark, Matthew, Luke, then John?

CEMETERY NEWS

As the weather gets nicer, please take time to visit the gravesites of any loved ones and clean up old decorations. Check monuments for safety. (Are they stable? Do they need to be reset? Are they being covered by overgrown grass?) Cemetery management reserves the right to remove decorations that interfere with maintenance.
