THANKSGIVING - GRATITUDE
GIVE THANKS - GRATEFUL - THANKS
| |
Our sincerest gratitude to Blake Stephens for his ministry at Bentwood Trail. He began as the assistant coordinator
for BTPC's Day Camp in July 2013, then became Director of Children's and Youth Ministries in Jan. 2014.
Thanks, also, to everyone who helped Blake use and develop his gifts,
and who supported his work with our children and youth,
among other areas of ministry.
We pray that God calls Blake to new opportunities to glorify Him
by building up His church and reaching out to those in need,
with Christ's love.
Blake, we are confident that God will shower His grace and blessings
upon you and upon all of your endeavors, now and always.
We love you and we will miss you. God's speed!
Join the reception for Blake in the narthex, graciously provided by
the Presbyterian Women, to thank him personally.
(Write a note of thanksgiving on the
Attendance form for upcoming weeks)
