THANK YOU FROM JENNINGS
"God continues to heal as many have faithfully remembered us in prayer. The visits, gifts, and love are appreciated. From our hearts, the Jennings family."
|
FROM A NEW MEMBER COUPLE
"We have been squinting by candlelight for a year and a half...A candle in itself is not enough to reveal that I am a pretender. I am therefore utterly thankful and excited to be a part of Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church, a roaring fire of God's presence and work, before which the darkness that shelters my pride dissolves, revealing my great sin and God's absolute holiness."
|
FROM A WOMEN'S WINTER SUPPERS PARTICIPANT
"I especially loved hearing the history of the women in the church. Makes me once again thankful for all that goes on behind the scenes and for the village that makes it happen. Thankful to be a part of the body of Christ. Looking forward to doing this again."
