We would like to express our deepest thanks to all of you for the very generous gift we received this Christmas season. We are so thankful that God has given us such a loving and supportive church family. May he grant us all a very special and blessed New Year together.
With much love, Alice, Derek, Katie, Rebekah, Joel and Owen
