DOUG WICK BUTTONS, MAY 6

An anonymous angel from the Welcoming Ministry has made six buttons with Doug Wick's photo on it. Doug has been facing some major health challenges but is courageously fighting on. (You can read Doug's blog on his corporate website. Click here.) Starting this Sunday, the Welcoming Ministry team will be wearing these buttons to support Doug in his fight. Our angel says, "We will wear them until he is with us in person--and not only spiritually."
