A Heartfelt Thank You
Dear Woodmont UCC,
It was such a joy to see you on Sunday and to celebrate the gifts of the Holy Spirit with you!! Ever since I stepped foot into your building, I knew the Spirit was strong in the congregation and that God has blessed you all with so many gifts!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the recognition and thanks that you gave me for my service there and for the unbelievably generous gift! It was unnecessary from my point of view because it was always MY honor and privilege to serve you. I do know that was necessary for you all to do it though because you can’t help but be incredibly generous and loving to everyone you meet! So thank you again for making me feel part of the family throughout the five years I was with you. It’s never a goodbye – I will come again to worship with you! God Bless you all!
Becky Baker
