    So much excitement with plans for the new cchurh LCBC(?). It is amazing how God works. From a personal point of view this merger seems an answer to some of my prayers. I was saved at branch, was involved for a few years, wondered away for a few years, stopped backed this summer looking to see if this is were I belonged, have been praying for a cchurh home. Then when I just by chance stopped Sunday I heard the news and knew immediately I belonged and found were I was to serve next, At the new cchurh. Pastor Craig, I have no words to express my awe at your ability to walk away from your position as a founder of the cchurh and Senior Pastor, to advance the cause of Christ. It is remarkable how you have concord pride, humility and obidence. You are a wonderful example for all of us.I will be praying for you, Dave and all the cchurh leaders that protection, disernmentfaith and success for Christare provided through the merger

    I not to mention my friends came checking the great items on your website then quickly I
    got a horrible feeling I had not expressed respect to the web
    site owner for those secrets. Most of the boys are already glad to see them and now have really been tapping into
    those things. We appreciate you simply being really kind and for obtaining such great
    areas millions of individuals are really desperate to learn about.
    My very own honest regret for not saying thanks to you earlier.
