Noah’s Ark Print Donated
Rev. John (Jack) Moss donated this Japanese print of Noah’s Ark to the church. The print is done by a well-known Christian print artist in Japan, Watanabe Sadao. The picture was a farewell gift to him and his wife, Hatsumi from the United Church of Christ in Japan. Jack and Hatsumi were missionaries in Japan for many years. The print hung in their home for many years.
Thank you, Jack! We will enjoy it for many years to come!
