SPECIAL THANKS

Thank you to the evangelistic ministry and everyone who supported our Thanksgiving Food Basket Giveaway in partnership with the North Baton Rouge Chamber. Families were truly grateful and blessed. Furthermore, I appreciate the American Baptist Women and all participants for hosting a heartfelt, spiritually-inspired prayer breakfast.

Remember, God makes ALL THINGS POSSIBLE if we believe

Thank You Note

To: Rev. Mark Thomas and My GNGBC Family

I thank God for you. The love and support that was shown to me during the loss of my sister will be forever remembered. Your phone calls, cards, words of comfort and prayers helped me through this difficult time. I am truly grateful to all of you. May God continue to bless each of you abundantly and keep you in his loving care.

Sis. Brenda K. Paul
