Wow!  What a Wonderful Celebration

Jeanie and I were overwhelmed at your generosity of celebrating with us our 20 years of serving  with you.  The kind words of gratitude and recognition were encouraging.  The dedication of the Sanctuary Choir’s presentation of God’sTrombones to us was quite a tribute.  The reception was of such quality that it communicated the value, worth and love for the 20 years of service together.  Your generosity of the love offering was overwhelming.  The personal expression of all the notes written provided hours of conversation around memories.  It is still to be determined if the new pulpit Bible helps the preaching.

Thanks to all.  And particularly to all who had a specific part in the service of recognition and celebration.  The weekend was clearly an expression of your love and appreciation.
