We received several thank you’s from Bethany Children’s Home. Two letters from Kevin Snyder thanked us for our monetary support and for the Christmas gifts. A very special thank you card was signed by the youth in Keck Cottage who received the Christmas gifts.
We received a thank you letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs for the Christmas cards we collected for the veterans residing at the VA Hospital. It is on the bell tower bulletin board.
Phoebe Homes thanked us for our monetary gift which will support the many essential programs for their residents.
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)
