Hello Friends,
It is with great sadness I have to share that our friend and fellow singer Joyce Elsner passed away on Tuesday at about 1:30pm. I was at their house playing hymns on the piano for the hour before she died. She left this world surrounded by family and friends hearing the beautiful words and notes of hymns she held so dear. Joyce hosted many choir picnics at their cottage, was always cheerful and kind, rang in our bell choir, offered piano and organ music with Nancy and me plus her fine work with the Duo Times Two piano quartet. Joyce sang in our choir for more than 50 years and helped our Music Ministry, church and community in so many ways. She freely offered the gifts God gave her and made a difference in the world. Her obituary can be found on the Wetzel Funeral Home site and I think will be in the paper this week. Her funeral service will be held at church on Saturday, November 20 at 1:00. The family will see people on Friday evening at the funeral home and at church before the service on Saturday. Joyce will be deeply missed and I know added much to my life. 
 
Please hold their family in prayer. If you wish to send a card the address is 241 Charles Street, Hanover. 
 
Peace,
Scott
