“Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.”
Hebrews 13:7

From time to time, it is our privilege to receive contributions from individuals who give to honour a special person or event – such as a birthday or graduation. Others give to honour the memory of a loved one who has passed away.
We always personally acknowledge these gifts and record them in our permanent files. We note the commemoration and contributor on this special page of our website.
May the Lord bless you as you bless and honour the important people in your life.
