You worked hard to get the college students organized for the CROP Walk this past September. When the congregation saw their enthusiasm and asked to be part of it, you multiplied their efforts multiplied. I'm glad you sparked this event last fall because no church in the city stepped forward to host the CROP Walk this year. Had it not been for you and the students, our church would have missed it, too. Many thanks for a job well done. Jeanne Smith Great job, Tom!

Everyone in the community is invited to attend to celebrate the life of our nation's greatest leader for human rights, Martin Luther King, Jr. "The Stone of Hope" is a new monument, a Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in the Mall in Washington, DC. It was dedicated this year (2011) during the week that Hurricane Irene and the earthquake hit that area. An interesting analogy, I believe, given what King went through to bring civil rights and equality to his people. This program on Jan. 16, “Stone of Hope,” is sponsored by the Mac Diversity Team.

We especially appreciate the wonderful work you have done with the youth at all levels of the church, both locally and at large. Thanks, also, for your guidance during the Hunger Project our Outreach Team did in 2005. That was a spiritual highlight for me and many others. Had you not suggested a "special project" at the board retreat, it likely would never have happened. It was important to have the church's blessing. You opened the door for that. We pray God's blessings on you and your family as you pursue new avenues to share your faith and wisdom. Keep the faith. That's what it's all about. God's blessings, Jeanne Smith Dear Shawn,

I almost feel like I'm there in the servce when I'm able to join in the singing of the hymns and see those taking part in the service. Please encourage the camera operator to always show the words of the hymns displayed on the screens so those of us watching can sing along. Also, I was disappointed this morning to not be able to see the soloist during his solo. Perhaps one of the cameras was not working. However, I do want to say thank you, again, that the service is available on television.
