Thank You
 We wish to thank the members, elders and friends
who so generously came to our aid following the
flood. It has enabled us to restore some of the
loss we had. We also appreciate the love, concern
and continued prayers. It is great to be a part of
the Lebanon Road church family. Our love, Gene
and Margaret Pittman
