The May meeting of the Women’s Association was attended by five women at the Edmonds Pancake Haus and turned out to be an enjoyable social gathering. Our June meeting will be a salad luncheon at the church where we will give our annual mission offering. Our offering helps a variety of causes, obeying Jesus’ instructions to provide food, clothing, shelter, and a chance to hear the gospel message.
