Thank you
Dear
Porterville Church of Christ,
Thank
you so much for the generous gift card you sent to us for our wedding. It was
perfect. We were so happy to hear from our church family from so far away. Thank
you for all you do in the community and for the youth in your area.
Your
church directly impacted the lives of both of us. We enjoyed worshipping with
you the last time we were there. You really made Rebecca feel welcomed and
reminded Andrew of his Christian roots. We hope to see all of you sometime
soon.
