THANK YOU
Dear Friends in Christ - We would like to thank everyone who helped us move in September. We are so blessed with a wonderful church family and friends. The amount of love that was shown on that day was amazing. From the trucks, trailers, muscle, sweat, prayers and food that was provided was overwhelming and we are so so thankful for all. Again a huge thanks! Blessings to you all! Bo, Pam and Jordan Going
