Thank You
 To my church at Lebanon Road, I want to take the
opportunity to express my thanks for all the cards,
phone calls, visits and meals I’ve received during
my recovery from hip surgery. Your genuine love
and thoughtfulness means so much. I feel very
blessed to be a part of such a caring group of Chris-
tian friends. With sincere gratitude, Rose Ledbetter

rain was pouring, flood waters were rising and resi-
dents were fleeing. Later, our interior was gutted
and our furnishings removed, laying in the yard de-
caying under the hot sun. Now, four months later,
our interior has been refurbished and we anxiously
await the new furnishings. We wish to thank the
Lebanon Road congregation for the financial assis-
tance. Your gift made our transition much easier.
We love all of you. In Christian Love, Gene &
