Thank You!
Dear Pastor Dave and the Church Family at Grandville Baptist,
Thanks for being faithful to Christ and to the Word as we gathered for worship last Sunday; it was a delight for Richelle and me to visit with you and the Church. Richelle and I were encouraged as we talked with your families about missions in Rwanda...the Lord bless you and your family. Because of Jesus,
Rich and Richelle Howard
Dear GBC Family,
Thank you so much for the love you have shown us through hugs, phone calls, cards, and words of comfort at the home-going of our dad, Edgar Bailey.
