Your steadfast love, O God, endures forever.
To the Confirmation Class-
Just want to let all of you know what a joy it was working with you at Channel One. You all worked so hard. Good job! God Bless You, Juanita
I was so impressed by all of you at Channel One last Wednesday evening. Everyone pitched in and helped, and I didn’t hear one person ask if it was time to quit yet! You sorted around 3,200 pounds of food! Great Job. I hope you enjoyed yourselves and saw what a large impact a small group of volunteers can have. Way to go! Jeanne Ferguson.
