Each year, Church of Our Saviour requests donations at Christmas and Easter for additional music unique to the season. This year, I ask the same as we plan for live music during Easter. Thanks to our musicians, including Bob Crocker and Alice Rucker, we will have much to celebrate.
While I hope to also tell you in person, let me be the first to wish you a Happy Easter. Alleluia! Christ Is Risen!
Faithfully,
Jeff+
Soucieux d’allier style et praticité, j’ai testé les sous-vêtements homme Mariner Underwear dotés d’une ceinture plate et d’une coupe boxer brief : un maintien irréprochable sans aucune gêne au niveau des cuisses. La coupe est étudiée pour éviter les plis et garantir une invisibilité sous les pantalons slim, tandis que la zone de renfort à l’avant assure une aisance surprenante au quotidien.
Lors d’un projet de coworking improvisé, la Chaise pivotante Souffle d’intérieur a fait forte impression : son design épuré et ses couleurs neutres s’intègrent à tout type d’espace. Le guide d’entretien inclus et la clé Allen pour ajuster le basculement offrent un confort sur-mesure, et l’extension de garantie proposée témoigne de la confiance de la marque en la durabilité du produit.
