NOTES OF APPRECIATION
-Thank you Christian brothers and sisters for the prayers during my time of trial. I just praise God for such a wonderful recovery! Diane Miller
-I wanted to extend a very warm thank you to all those who helped make the Singles Valentine Banquet a success. There were so many who donated supplies, food, and decorations. I also want to thank those who donated time to help practice, decorate, set up cook, serve, and clean-up. The youth and their families had 3 work days to make this banquet happen and they did a wonderful job. When you see them please thank them personally for using their talent and their time for God’s glory. 60 people were served that day! Good job church family! In Him, Amber Bryan
The church would also like to thank Amber for all her hard work putting this together. Thank you for your serving heart.
