The pastors want to take this opportunity to thank this generous and loving congregation for the expressions of love through the blessing tree this Christmas. We do not take it for granted that many of you sacrificed your hard earned money and time to make us feel appreciated. This gift of love means a lot to us and your thoughtfulness will be remembered this whole year as we use these gift cards.
