Reception for Ben and
Nelly Mangold from 1:30 - 3:00 at the Fellowship Hall - Everyone is invited. It is however unclear
when they will each report to Germany. If they cannot be here for the 11th,
there will be a box available at church that day to collect cards to be sent to
them in a Wedding Box. Due to the logistics of their move it is requested
that cash or Amazon gift cards be given(they can be done online also).
Ben & Nelly each have been living in barracks for the past year
and once they get to Germany all household items will need to be purchased.
Both Amazon and IKEA are nearby therefore no international shipping charges
will be applied.
