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

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.

Allsbury, Executive Director, Stepping Stone Shelter
