Congratulations to our 2022 Seniors!
We are so proud of our 8 graduating seniors at Park Avenue! This morning, several of our young men will be helping to lead in worship, and we will honor all our seniors with a presentation of Bibles. Everyone is also welcome to stay after service for a celebration banquet in the Ark.

Thank You
To all of the good people who sent a card, who brought a dish, who brought flowers, who prayed for Jane and for me, for all the stories and the hugs and encouraging words—thank you, all of you. You gave to me what Jane had given you—caring, support, and prayer. God bless you all. Stewart Bolerjack
