NEW IMPORTANT NOTE Friday June 11: Peace and Blessings! Today will be the final regular posting of our news page. There will still be news postings, but they will not be at regular, pre-set times. I will continue to post what I can, when I can. We're going to devote more of our energies toward expanding the rest of the ministry web site, and hopefully making it more interactive. Please continue to visit our pages, write to us, feel free to send us prayer requests, ideas for web sections, articles for posting, whatever you'd like to share with us. And please - keep me, and the entire ministry, in your prayers. That - more than anything, is what I ask of all of you. Hoping to post a journal page within the week - so please continue to visit us. Those of you on our mailing list will be notified of new postings, including news pages, journal updates, new "Friends," new ministry members, and additions to the web site. Feel free to sign up for our list now. This is not the end Mary's Remnant, but the beginning of a new thrust for our ministry. In the Two Hearts, Doris Ballard
