Thank You
Dear IPC family,
I want to express my heartfelt
appreciation to each of you for the
prayers, cards, and visits over the
last several months. I have felt the
Lord “hugging” me through the
prayers of His people and I can
never thank you enough for what it
has meant to Neill and me.
If you have never asked for prayer
at I.P.C., you must do so as you will
be blessed knowing others are lifting
you up through difficult times.
With thankfulness,
Kayron Stevens

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Dearest Church Family,
Our family is overwhelmed by the
love, support, and prayers we have
received during this time of grief and
sorrow. You have been with us in this
valley and we cannot ever express our
thankfulness and gratitude for your
comfort. While we grieve our loss of
Vicki, we rejoice she is with her Lord
and Savior and now worships with the
saints and angels. The diagnosis of “breast cancer” was
such a shock for me but your response
was overwhelming. Thank you for the
many ways you have demonstrated the
love of Christ to me. You cared for me
and my family through visits, meals,
cards, phone calls, text messages and
most importantly, with prayers on my
behalf. When I didn’t know what to
pray, I found great comfort knowing
you were praying.
Thank you for the cards, flowers,
meals, calls, and visits you have extended
to us. It has been a constant support
and has been appreciated more than you
will ever know. This congregation truly
exemplifies the love of Christ.
Blessings,
Charlie and Amy Martin
for the Hall and Reeder families
September marks a year since my
diagnosis. Treatment is finished. We
have been sustained by our gracious
and loving Lord. I have so much to
be thankful for. It was a road I would
not have chosen but the Lord has
strengthened me along the way.
