THANK YOU: I am very thankful to God for the many manifestations of His love, at all times. Last Friday, my surgery went well (I
don’t even have pain) and thanks to the love and care of my sisters in Christ, I am well fed and with a lot of time to rest. Thank you
College Heights Church and Burman University for your prayers and concerns. I am doing well. Love you all, Sara Chavez
THANK YOU SO MUCH to our church family for the gift of remembrance for my Dad, George Koronko, who passed away. The
book of prayers and butterfly garden pick are a real treasure during this passage of time. Thank you so much for your prayers and
thoughtfulness. – Kellie and Gerald Berg and family
A HUGE THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to those who helped me move last weekend. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Help with moving, cleaning, unpacking... all of it. Thank you. – Krista Owen
