June is National Dairy Month! We salute all our Washington Parish Dairy Farmers! They work long hours, rain or shine, seven days a week to provide us with all our delicious dairy products. Let's support them by buying dairy products in preparing meals for our family. We love them so it's our place to keep them happy and healthy.

Congratulations to Brandon and Brittney Lebo on the birth of their little princess, Dakato Skye. She was born on April 2, 2024. She weighed 5 pounds and 15.8 ounces. Her grandparents are Roland and Jennifer Burch, and Jimmy and Melissa Lebo of Mt. Hermon.
We had several on the prayer list. Pray for the healing, comfort, and safety. Also pray for the families who have lost beloved ones. God can and will take care of them.
