To my TBC family

I am humbly grateful for the honor you bestored upon me as “2013 Mother of the Year"! The beautiful white roses and plaque were simply breathtaking. I also thank everyone for your cards, visits, food and prayers during this trying

time in my life. May God's grace shine upon us all.

We thank Sister Vicki Rankins-Anderson for being our presenter and we also thank the Transportation Ministry headed by Deacon Angelo Gibson for asking Brother Jared Jones to drive the church van. He so willingly accepted and we thank you both again for everything. We are truly

blessed to be a blessing!

Yours in Christ,

Special Thanks, to Dr. Johnson, Deacon Rankins, Marvin Ward, Carol Cousins, Joyce Brown, Equilla Roach and Hubie Pitts and of course other members of Third Baptist Church. I can’t forget my Sunday Church girls (after church dinner girls) for being there for me. Keep praying that the Lord will always keep our church together. When

we all ask the Lord for blessing, He will favor us in His time.

Love Always,

The Shields Family

Thank You Dear Third Baptist Church Family, I am so thankful to you all for all of the prayers and cards, and well wishes sent my way since my health has declined and especially during the week’s stay at The Toledo Hos-pital last week. All of the calls and visits, especially to check on my children while they were alone, meant loads to me. Please continue to pray for me and my family as I look forward to my upcoming surgery this month and recuperation. Special thanks to Deacon Angelo and Deaconess Felicia Gibson, Deacons Herman and Barbie Harrison and Deacons Rankins and Dunn all of whom called and came to see me in the hospital. I truly love you all my church family. I pray for you, too. Love, Sis. Jennis L. Huston ………………………………………………………………………………………………….
