We would like to thank everyone who helped make our wedding anniversary such a joyful day, and for the many cards we received. Over the years our wedding text, 2 Cor. 12: 9, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." has taken on special meaning for us. PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW. Paul & Laurina VanderSloot We would both like to say thank you to the congregation for all your prayers, cards and words of encouragements over the last few months. We would especially like to thank Pastor Bilkes for his many visits and comforting words.
