THANK YOUS
Thanks to everyone who gave so unselfishly of their time, and to our church family for your continued loving support of the Baptist Children’s Home annual Food/Supply Drive.

We thank God for Christian friends who responded to our call for help and worked two full days to make this drive a success.Thanks, also, to Dr. David Johnson, President of JCC and members of the Truck Driving Training Program, to those of you who provided food and supplies; to several Sunday School classes and individuals who provided funds for us to purchase food; to Carl Lamm of WTSB Radio, and to Richard Upton of Zack’s for providing lunch for the workers.

Dear Church Family, Thanks so much for the many ways you have showed God’s love to us in the last few weeks during Bob’s surgery and recovery. All the cards, flowers, visits, food and most of all your prayers were really appreciated. We feel so blessed to be a part of this caring church family. May god bless you all. Bob and Linda Barefoot.

Dear Church Family, We, Seymour Taylor’s family, express our sincere thanks to you for being there for us during the past months. Your prayers, visits, acts of love in food, flowers and donations in honor of Seymour, cards, and calls have meant so much to each of us as we have accepted Seymour’s diagnosis, celebrated his life, and grieved our loss of a husband, father, and granddaddy. With your help, God’s love and grace are carrying us through this journey. Love in Christ, Vickie Taylor and family
