THANK YOU Dear FBC, Thank you to all the members who have included our family in your prayers. I am so much better. However, I am not completely out of the woods! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Without your prayers the pain would still have control! Amen it is controlled now.

Debbie & Charles Dale

Dear Prayers at FBC Cleveland, Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and kind notes. It is so encouraging for us to have the love and support of so many people from your special church and prayer ministry. We love knowing that so many people care for us and intercede for us in the U.S.A. as we serve the Lord in Stuttgart, Germany. Thank you for being our partners in gospel ministry. Please pray that God will continue to build his kingdom in Germany. Merry Christmas!

Blessings in Christ, Taylor & Lydia Whitley

Dear FBC Family, I am truly grateful to have such a loving church family. All of your prayers, cards, love, and support have been very much appreciated during the loss of my sister and my dad.

Love in Christ, Carol Kyle
