THANK YOU CHURCH FAMILY
Church Family and Friends:
Shell and I thank you for your kind and loving
support as we go through this unexpected time in our lives.
We are blessed in that we know our Lord is in charge and
we want His complete will to be accomplished. We
appreciate your many acts of kindness shown in your cards,
calls, visits, food and especially your prayers. Thank you
for caring and offering to help in any way.
Faith in God’s faithfulness, our supporting
family and thoughtful friends keep us living with hope and
assurance that we do not walk alone.
Our sincere appreciation to Pastor Condy and
Johnny for having communion with us in our home. We
were so happy to have this observance in memory of our
Lord. Also, we appreciate receiving the church Newsletter.
We are truly blessed!
Sincerely, Shell and Bonnie Thackston STUDENT MINISTRY NEWS
