Sunday morning text: Romans 15:14-33
John & Victoria Tos and family would like to thank the congregation for their acts of kindness in cards, phone calls, flowers & prayers of sympathy for the passing of Valeria Brazil. These acts of thoughtfulness have been of great comfort, thank you.
A grateful thanks to each of you for your comforting cards with expressions of kindness in the passing of my dear son, Bryan Kamper. I miss him so much. I know that he is in heaven with the Lord and is healed of his earthly sufferings. “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 Thanks be to God who is my daily strength. Marcella Kamper
