Thank You Note
To Pastor Thomas and Our GNG family,
Your many acts of love during my extended out-of-state medical treatment with my husband by my side; and the loss of my brother Thomas truly touched our hearts. The prayers, cards, flowers, and other expressions of love continue to be a source of strength for us through this season. “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers” (1 Thessalonians 1:2).
