From Ally:
Well, we are officially on the road back to New Hampshire. This was our plan 4 years ago but we weren’t ready to leave you all at OCRC. I’m still not sure I’m ready. Following Jesus is hard sometimes.
Being part of the OCRC staff was an incredible blessing for me personally and for my family in many ways. I don’t think I can fully explain how grateful I am for the opportunity to do ministry with you all in Olympia. Community is beautiful, hard, messy and necessary.
And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generous gifts and words of kindness this past Sunday.
I thank Jesus for all of you. May he continue His good work in us all.

From the Taylors:
Thank you for your love, concern and practical helps over the last eight weeks. The emergency response, the subsequent treatment, and now the recovery have been bathed in your prayers and it has made a huge difference after Paul’s stroke in mid-May. Conversations with, and help from, many church friends helped us cope with sudden and significant changes the whole affair brought about. And then, upon returning home, to receive a handmade and signed quilt was equal parts delightful, humbling and overwhelming. We will cherish it for the rest of our lives, which we trust will be long and healthy. Thank you again.
Much love and gratitude, Paul and Elaine Taylor
