THANK YOU
Dear Church Family, On behalf of both my family and myself, I wish to thank you for the many kindnesses bestowed upon me following my recent surgery. The prayers, visits, telephone calls, cards and delicious meals have been so appreciated.

A loving church family is such a blessing! Love Jean H. High and family.

"You have been Christians a long time now, and you ought to be teaching others....." Hebrews 5:12a

"Much is required from those to whom much is given, for their responsibility is greater." Luke 12:48b

"I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength." Phillipians 4:13

(And if because of age or affliction you are unable to serve, PLEASE PRAY that willing workers will answer this call to serve!)
