THANK
YOU
Thank you for your care and concern after I fell
and injured my back. I greatly appreciate all
the prayers offered up for my speedy recovery.
How grateful I am that the prayers were answered!
You have been so attentive by sending cards and
food as well as calling to check on me. How lucky
I am to be part of the FBC family. Thanks again
for your kindness. Betsy Knott
My
dear sisters and brothers in Christ, Thank you
for all your prayers, cards and emails. I am at
home getting stronger everyday, and hoping to
return to work within the next few weeks. I really
felt the presence of the Holy Spirit after prayers.
After I came out of the coma I found out that
people all over America were praying for me. My
own co-workers had daily prayers for me. Without
your prayers I know this would have been a longer
more difficult journey for me. In Christ’s
Love, Kenneth Banks
