A Thank You Note from the Conley's
Dearest Mid-Atlantic District family ~
Thank you for your expressions of love given to us during Julie's recent surgery and recovery!!
Hebrews 12:1 says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses ...let us run with perseverance the road marked out for us."
The knowledge of being surrounded not only by faithful people who have gone to Heaven before us, but also by a sacrificially loving, present community is buoying. And you were this to us in the recent difficulty that we faced. Your love, mixed with the love of Jesus, helped us to rise to meet the circumstances before us. And we are incredibly grateful!!
See you in October!!
Love,
Doug & Julie Conley
