We would like to thank Rev. Laning, the elders, and congregation for their many acts of kindness given to our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Your visits, words of comfort and love to her along with your many acts of kindness shown to her family have been a joy and blessing to us. Up until the end, she would share with us her earnest desire of attending worship services in the house of the Lord. May we together joy in the truth and fellowship we have as fellow believers united in “one Lord, one faith and one baptism” Eph. 4:5. – The Reka Andringa Family “For the LORD IS GOOD; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.” Ps. l00:5
