From Gaynelle Brashear:
You’re so thoughtful to bring
me the loving and lovely Easter lily. I really enjoyed visiting with
Marge Smith. I appreciate your prayers and thoughtfulness.
From Frances Landers [of the
Haiti Education Foundation, Inc.]:
Well, I MADE IT!! At 91
I traveled to Haiti, rode over the mountains to visit our schools
and had a great time. I will admit to you that I “DID” again have
pneumonia on my return, but I caught it early, was treated at home
and am now fine again. My visit was WONDERFUL. We were so pleased
with the progress in our schools. The two priests in charge are
working very hard to educate and feed 14,000 children. This is
possible only because people like you are willing to share. We now
have teachers in our kindergarten classes who have received all of
their education in “our” schools. Our high school seniors dream of
going to college. Thank you for your gift...that will lift children
in poverty into a NEW LIFE. Each $55 scholarship pays all of a
child’s expenses for ONE YEAR. One hundred percent of this gift will
be sent to Haiti for the children.
From Molly Sherrod:
Thank you for the Reformation
Study Bible. Thank you for the senior luncheon. It was very nice,
and I really enjoyed the slide show. Thanks again for thinking of me
at this special time in my life.
From Kim [McNeal] Reagh:
Thank you so much for the baby Bible and the pretty washcloth. It
really meant a lot to our family to receive the gifts from the
church.
From Steve Paine:
The family of Mrs. Garland Baldwin and Steve Paine sincerely thank
the congregation for your notes, phone calls, flowers and support
following the death of Kenneth E. Baldwin, Jr., son and brother.
Your prayers are felt daily, and we ask that God bless each of you
and your families. Please continue to celebrate Kenny’s life with
our family through prayer and actions. Thank you. |

CHURCH DIRECTORY UPDATES

addresses, etc.
As always, we
hope to have the new directory available on Rally Day at the end of
August, so please let us know as soon as possible if you have any
changes to make. |
