There are lots of young people. They took a special offering for Sis. Gloria Elliott. She has to have a kidney transplant. She was one of the teachers at Nevada School and sister of Josie Simpson. She has to go to Texarkana every day for treatments. Thank God her daughter takes her there. One of her daughters lives in Rosston.
