Part of a letter from Pastor Sam Baer at Victory Mountain Grace Brethren Chapel, KY (50 years of ministry) in response to the Thanksgiving/Christmas offering sent from Valley Grace.Dear Brother Dan & Congregation,
Wow!!! $1,645.00!!! You Dear Folks really know how to encourage another Pastor & struggling Church. Our Parsonage Furnace gave up the "ghost" in December & we needed to purchase a new one. Even though we got it at cost (thanks to a Christian Contractor) installation & everything was only $1,700.00. Now isn't that something???
You all covered the cost of the whole furnace ($1,600.00), even though we were able to pay for it back in December, but that bill wiped out our church checking account. Your check beefed up our general fund so we could pay for your January bills with some left over. You all seem to know when we need some extra help & your gifts are always very generous & we are so appreciative of your love gift.... Your church helps keep our church from going under financially. Thank You So Very Much!!!
P.S. This winter has been hard. Every Sunday it seems we are facing something different weather wise. Last Sunday, all our vehicle doors were frozen shut so we had to cancel morning services & go for a 2:00 pm service. Six inches of snow here in the mountains & the schools must cancel for a week or 4 days.... Hope God keeps your congregation & ours safe from harm.
With Much Thanksgiving & Appreciation, Pastor Sam Baer
