Dear Church Family:  Thank you so much for the generous financial gift you gave to us for Christmas.  We so appreciate each one of you and have been blessed in many ways this past year in serving Turpin Mennonite Church.  We look forward to serving God with you in the coming year!

Pastor Terry and Jerilee

 

Dear Church Family: Julie and I would like to say a very big thank you for all the prayers and visits that came from all of you.  This gift basket was great as well.  Thank you very much.

Kevin & Julie Veenstra

 

Dear Turpin Mennonite Church:  Thank you so much for the check for $580.80 and the food.  It came at the most opportune time as we have struggled with finances the past few months. Your thoughtfulness is wonderful and your gift has insured we will end the year in a positive financial status.  Thank you too for all your thoughts and prayers for us which is just as vital as the monetary or physical support.  The Stepping Stone Board, staff members, and residents greatly appreciate your help.

Pat Allsbury, Executive Director, Stepping Stone Shelter
