Dear Faith United Presbyterian Church,

 

Thank you very much for the finals care package.  It was very generous of you to think of us college students during our final exams.  I really enjoyed worshiping with all of you and hope to stop by sometime when I am in Monmouth for a visit.

 

Sincerely,

Jillian Steamer
