THANK YOU NOTES Many thanks for the calls, visits, cards and most of all the prayers during my recent surgery. - Ann Glass Words are inadequate to express our gratitude to our church family for the outpouring of love, meals, cards, support and most importantly prayers at the loss of “Miss Connie”. The support of our ministers at Baptist Hospital will never be forgotten. Thank you—The Pinkerton Family I feel so blessed to be a part of such a thoughtful and caring church family. Your prayers, visits and cards were rewarding to me during the 3 months I was in rehab. Thank you—Frances Waddell	RECORD UPDATE - LAST WEEK
