THANK YOU
The church was able to send over 337 items of canned goods, and mac and cheese, and various other necessities to the Food Box recently because of an annual donation in memory of Sammy Glaze and in honor of Opal Glaze donated by their daughter Debbie and her husband Tom.
Thank you to everyone for the cards, emails, calls and texts I've received after the loss of my Aunt. This has meant so much this last week to have my church family reaching out with care. Blessings, Shawn
