Thank you/Praises
We would like to share with our church family an
update on Caleb. March 25, 2014, Caleb was
diagnosed with cancer. He finished Chemo December
9, 2014. Through it all, we knew Caleb and our
family were being lifted up in prayer by our church,
family and friends. We experienced the peace that
passed all understanding. Thanks to you for
surrounding us in prayer. At the present time, Caleb
is considered cancer free! Praise Jesus! God is good
all the time! We give thanks for the encouragement
and support received from our church family. Every
act of kindness was a blessing and always came when
needed the most. Caleb faced this trial with a peace
that only comes from knowing Jesus. Caleb was able
to remain in school even through Chemo. Please
continue to pray for Caleb as he moves forward in life.
He will graduate May 7, 2015, from North Greenville
University. This summer he will work at Camp
McCall. This is his 6th summer on staff!! On July 4,
2015, he will be married to Tori Ragan. As you can
see, God is at work in Caleb’s life. Pray for Caleb and
Tori as they begin life together for our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. We love and appreciate our
church family.
In Christ, The Ashley Riddle Family
Dear Church Family,
Thank you for the many acts of kindness shown to
our family during this long journey. We thank you
for the delicious meals, many cards, visits and
especially your prayers. Thanks to Pastor Condy
and AJ for being there for us. We could feel the
LOVE from the church which Bonnie cherished so
much. We take joy in knowing that Bonnie has
been set free and is now rejoicing with our Lord!
Fearless by Max Lucado
Can you imagine your life without fear? Each
sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear. They're
talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy,
flare-ups in the Middle East, and upswings in global
warming. But what if faith, not fear, was your
default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear
magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving
of dread, insecurity, and doubt, what would remain?
Love, Shell Thackston and family
Dear Church Family,
Thank you so much for your prayers, cards, calls,
visits and many acts of kindness shown to us during
the loss of my mother, Charlotte Hart.
May God richly bless you all,
