My family and I thank you for all your kindness and prayers during this sad time. Having such a dear church family made it easier for

us. Also we thank the ladies who prepared a nice meal for us. Love to all of you. Patty Culley & Family.

We have difficulty finding words to express our appreciation for your prayers and concerns for our son Jason’s health issues. We are confident God hears and answers prayers. A temporary release date from therapy

is June 19. We continue to covet your prayers. In Christian love, Oran & Nadean Green

The love and support you showed us this past Sunday was overwhelming. We know that we are so loved by all at Water Mill! It’s hard to find all the right words to say

how blessed and thankful we are for the cards, gifts and love you have given us. Even though we are thankful for all the cards and gifts, our favorite part was the fellowship

with our church family! Thank you once again. Love, Brooke & Adam

A special

ladies who have

been planning and

working for

months to make

the Ladies Tea a

very special day.
