To our Church Family,
We thank you so very much for your extremely generous gift to Danielle following the fire at her house. Even though the gift was just recently presented to her (we were away), the help is still very much needed & very much appreciated. We are overwhelmed with your generosity – although we shouldn’t be, since God’s love is always apparent here at First Congregational Church. We thank you for this wonderful gift, yet another expression of your love.
Sincerely, Don and Olive
