On behalf of the parish and the NET Team –
thank you to the Steele, Bennett and Rotier
families for hosting the NET Team this
year. Your hospitality has been a great bless-
ing, for without it, we would not have been
able to bring the NET Team here! In the
passage from Hebrew 13:2 we see that those
who provide hospitality to others, might have
“unknowingly entertained angels.” Thank
you! God bless you for opening your homes
and hearts to the NET Team!
