Dear First Church: My family was and is
overwhelmed by the outpouring of Christian
love and support that all of you have given us
during this difficult time in our lives. We are
helping each other to adjust to all that has
happened. With the close family that we have, the good friends,
and our outstanding church family giving us love and support, you
have really made it easier and more bearable. We appreciate all
the food, cards, food, phone calls, food, visits and just knowing
you are THERE. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And
I’ve never been so proud to say “I’m a member of the First United
Methodist Church of Conway, SC.
Because He said, “We should love one another,”
