In January of 1989 she
became aware of North Terrace Church
of Christ through friends and after delving
into the beliefs and statements of the
Church of Christ was baptized and joined
the Church in April of 1989. She
has enjoyed being in the Single Again
group that we had for several years,
the 50 Plus Group, Women’s Bible
Study, and also the Bible Study at the
Inn at North Hills, and of course morning

evening classes. However,
at the present time with both my son
and granddaughter living with me, it
is difficult to get here as often in
the evenings as I would like.
