FROM THE MAILBAG
Dear
Cedar Grove Church of Christ,
“Thank
you” are just two little words that express the love, gratitude and
understanding that I have received from all of you.
The visits, phone calls, cards and most importantly the prayers for Lynda and I were needed and greatly appreciated.
Never have I experienced the true love, caring and gratitude from my Christian brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.
May
our Father in heaven continue to bless the Elders, Deacons, Teachers,
Members and Ministers, Preachers and Evangelists at
Cedar Grove church of Christ.
May
God hold you safely in His hands till we meet again.
Sincerely,
Tom
and Lynda Hopkins
