With My Thanks-
At the January 18 meeting for business, you made the decision to name specific gifts for ministry that you have seen in my life and work. And then you recommended that those gifts go forward to the New Association for official recording of gifts for ministry. One of the most important things a Christian community can do, is to name and bless the gifts of people. Thank you so much for blessing me! Derek Parker
