Words can’t express my gratitude for your thoughtfulness, concern, and most of all your prayers for me during and following my recent surgery. Your cards and visits helped me tremendously through this process….the good food—-well, what can I say, WYCOB has some awesome cooks who kept me well nourished for the weeks following surgery. Thank You. You are all very special. I am slowly getting back to “normal”.

Love to you all, Nancy Smith

If you have a prayer request you would like to share with the church, please fill out a prayer card (found in the narthex)

and give it to Pastor Greg or the Worship Leader.
