Thank you

Last night Pastor Graf reminded our church of all those who are so faithful to our many different Sunday school classes. It was true what Pastor said that many go unnoticed. With all that goes on Sunday morning's many of these people don't receive the expressions of gratitude they all deserve. Each person that Pastor mentioned has influenced my life in a very special way.

Amy has faithfully covered the nursery every Sunday morning at 10am, she arranges monthly schedules and always makes sure there is someone there to take care of our children. Aaron loves Mrs. Bryant and that means so much to know that our children are in good hands. Thank you so much Amy you have been a wonderful friend, and care taker I love you very much.

Randy and Mary are such a special couple Marcus had such a wonderful experience during the time that he was in their class. They really go above and beyond and I'm sure they have created memories that will last a lifetime. Abbey also has been such a blessing during Wednesday night prayer meetings. All the children love the Treasure chest. Many thanks to the Engesetter family we love you.

Lynn and Sally are wonderful teachers for our 3 and 4 year olds. I've seen many of the crafts the children have made or even the special treats they bring home. One thing that is so special to me is when my nephew Luis doesn't come to church, Lynn and Sally always make sure he gets the craft that he missed. That is so special to him, he knows you were thinking about him. Thank you both you are both such dear friends and so very special you both are loved very much.

Josh and Jenn, are also wonderful, wonderful Sunday school teachers. Marcus adores being in your class. Just yesterday he told me about the lesson on prophecy that Josh will be covering. What a blessing, It's too bad I can't be in two places at once. It is so wonderful that Jenn will be teaching the young girls on how to be proper young ladies. These are lessons they can carry on forever. One other thing that is so sweet are the bagels that Josh and Jenn have on different occasions. It's a very sweet gesture and once again goes above the requirements. Thank you Josh and Jenn we love you both and cherish your friendship.

Mrs. Graf, I've never been in your Sunday school but you have influenced my life in so many ways. I could be here all day writing about what a blessing you've been to me. Thank you for all of your many lessons on family, mother son relationships, Christian women distinctives, the wonderful series you prepared during family camp. The encouragement with raising our sons. I love you very much and thank you for your love and devotion to serving the Lord.

Pastor Graf, I don't even know where to start. You have been a tremendous blessing in our lives we love you very much and thank you for being confrontational, for being Christlike, for being a spiritual leader. For being a friend.

There are many, others that I want to thank. There are several different nursery workers that I appreciate and Little church workers that are very devoted each and every week. I love you all and without you I wouldn't be able to attend services weekly. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I'm so thankful to the Lord for leading our family to Long Island Baptist Church it's been a tremendous blessing.

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
