It's truly amazing how many crosses have been added to Joy''s walls since Thanksgiving - 8! - bringing our total to 157. Latest additions come to us from Texas, Ecuador, Mexico, Tucson, New Orleans, China, and Tanzania.
The latter came from former member, Janet Boyer, who traveled to Tanzania in July with her grandson, Wesley, as part of the Northwest Inter-mountain Synod of Idaho. Janet included this message: "I had intended to hang it at my church in Kendrick, ID; however, they don't have a cross wall started...It brings joy to my heart knowing this cross will be among the many you have at Joy. I remember my years there with great fondness, and I miss my family and friends there. Our door is always open and the invitation is always there for anyone who wants to visit us here. May God continue to bless you all."
