For our church leaders, our deacons, and our elders – we thank you! For those who file choir music, tend the bulletin boards, donate and distribute food to the food bank – we thank you! For our money counters, our childcare assistants, our emailers, and our ushers – we thank you! For those who help with sound, with work parties, and in the office – we thank-you! For those who volunteer in the schools, with the Red Cross, at the food banks, and so many other places – we thank-you! And for all I forgot to name (you know who you are) we thank-you, too!
