Letters expressing thanks for our continued support are on the bulletin board in the bell tower from Bethany Children’s Home and Phoebe-Devitt Homes. They gratefully acknowledge our monthly donations so that they can continue to support those they serve.
Bernie Baluta sent a letter thanking us for our continued kindness and generosity for the toys, clothing and personal care packs we gathered for Christmas. She notes that our contributions really make a difference in the lives of the homeless people of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. — 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NASV)
