THANK YOU NOTE: Marie Keefer and her family would like to thank the church people for their visits, cards and prayers. They would like to thank Pastor Greg and Judith McNamara for getting the church people to go to Claremont Farms to welcome Marie into the church. (She had been planning to joining Carlisle First May 1 when others were welcomed into the church fellowship but was unable to attend that day.) So this past Tuesday, forty people stopped by Clarmont Farms to help her celebrate her joining the church. She was so happy and it made her day. She said “there isn’t any other church that I would want to be in than First Church of God”. She feels the love and loves all of you. Thank you so very much.
