Thank You, FPC

I wanted to tell everyone how much I appreciated the service of Godspeed and reception. It is comforting to know that your prayers and thoughts are with me and Matt as we begin the next step of our journey together. I did want to take a moment to thank those of you who shepherded me through my college years.

To Cynthia and the Choir- Thank you for embracing me and giving me a place in the choir (even though we all knew that I was totally faking my way through the music!). If it was not for your encouragement I would not be able to call FPC home.

To Selena, Mary, Brenda and the College Connection – Thank you for dinner! It was so nice to have a hot meal and time to relax and learn from each other. Thank you for silly games and exciting trips and Bible Study and quiet contemplation.

To Meredith and Parent’s Day Out - Thank you for showing me how to be flexible and fun while teaching! I have grown as a teacher because of my experiences with you.

To Max and Jack and the children of the church – Thank you for teaching me the meaning of patience and the importance of play. Thank you for hugs and smiles and the best greetings I could ever ask for!

To Ken Jack – Thank you for challenging me with the Youth position. Without your encouragement, I would not have been in a position to be blessed by our youth program.

To Doug and the Youth – Thank you for lock-ins and sleep deprivation. Thank you for marshmellow wars, wipeouts over the rapids and energizers. You have been a blessing to me and I feel privileged to have served you. You all are excellent examples of Christ’s love in our church and in our community and I am proud of you. You have inspired me to expect excellence from the teens I encounter. (PS- Thanks to Courtney I now know how to mow the lawn!)

To The Swinney’s and Ms. Connie - Thank you for your constant encouragement. It always came when I needed it most.

To Shannon and Danielle – I always looked forward to talking with you at PDO and in the Nursery. I am so privileged to have watched your babies grow. Thanks for showing me that mom’s can be cool too!

To the congregation – Thank you for adopting me and helping me to know Christ and keep my priorities straight in college. Now is my chance to go out and make Him known.

I love you all. May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you.
