Let’s join together with generous, thankful hearts, praying that God would continue to bless the ministry that extends outward from this place. For he is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20).
I wish to thank my church family for prayers, lovely get well cards, visits, phone calls & much delicious food. It was so kind to be remembered in so many ways. I’m sure it will provide me with hope and a desire for better health. Thanks again, Evelyn Falk
