“I am thankful every day ...to be challenged in my thinking and way I work and live, and to receive a very soul satisfying reassurance of God’s love in the interactions with and happiness of others. for these reasons and more, I am very thankful for the presence of the church community and God, in my life. For these reasons and more, I give back to the church whenever I can and in whatever way I can.”
