We have received the following cards & notes:
"Dear Church, there are no words to express the appreciation for your thoughts, prayers, calls and cards during the season of sadness of my daughter's death. As you know this is one season that will last forever but through God's comfort by your prayers, we go on. In addition, thank you for the monetary gift. Gay would be very humbled by your generosity." Love, Betty (Stevenson) & Gay's Family
"I would like to thank the congregation of the Guthrie Grove Church of God (Abrahamic Faith) for your confidence in me to serve you as Deacon for several years (Do not know how many), as we have a wonderful church and wonderful people that love God and the teaching of God. I love our Truth and am glad always to share our faith with anyone that will hear me tell it to them. God has been so good to us to have 2 wonderful pastors to serve us here and all of the ones you have selected to serve as Board Members. Thanks." In Christian Love, Bobby Partain.
