Greetings!
What a mix of emotions I have, now that I'm officially done being the Youth Director for nearly five years! It has been an absolute privilege getting to know and lead the youth of this church as well as working with some pretty great advisers along the way. You have all touched my heart and shaped my life in profound ways - thank you for that!
To a wonderful congregation - thank you for always supporting our youth program. It really is such an important ministry of this church!
Blessings,
Heather Fisher

**********************************************
To All Members of Faith United Presbyterian Church:
May God bless and keep each and every one of you. Susan and I certainly extend that blessing to all of you for your kind words, thoughts, prayers and visits during the final six months of mom's life. You all made it so much easier for us to care for her at Courtyard, OSF and Seminary Manor. And, to the angels called Deacons, if you ever wondered if you made a difference, wonder no more. We hope you will all join us for a celebration of Mildred's life, July 6, at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary of Faith Church. We'll be at the church from 9:30 a.m. until the service to greet each one you and say, "Thank you and God Bless You for Your Love!"
Irv and Susan Lipp, Westhampton Beach, New York
