THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!  The youth group would like to thank all of those who participated in the "Silent Auction" this past week to raise money for those going to "Life 2010" in Louisville this summer. Thank you to the deaconess ladies for planning the Valentine dinner, and thank you to the many people who donated items to be auctioned off. Also a special thanks to everyone who purchased the items that were donated. Over $2,500 was raised.... Praise the Lord!
