Snow business

Friday, November 28th, 2008

In some ways it has been an easier week this week, with almost half the Rovereto group having to work on Tuesday evening so the meeting was cancelled, one of the rare Thursday nights without a meeting for the church, and the band practice on Friday cancelled due to snow. So we have had four […]
