Dear members of Concord Baptist Church:

"We would like to let you know how much your generosity has meant to us...four ladies, or should I say, angels, appeared at our doorstep bearing donuts and smiles. After talking to us, they left and returned with every kind of magazine that could possibly interest us. Along with the magazines they had a new DVD player which was a blessing since ours had been out for sometime. My limited vocabulary keeps me from expressing just how much these wonderful gifts meant to us...May God bless Concord and our ladies as you have blessed us."

"I am Mrs. Amand's son. She is 71 years old...I am sorry to bother you and the church, but because you filled up my mother's tank, she will have enough money left to eat on until her check comes in to eat."

Best Regards, L. Amand 

Hello Rev. Carter, "I want to thank you and the Concord Church for making it possible for me to be a recipient of ‘$32 of free gas'... I am 68 years old ... Saturday morning my gas tank was approaching "E." The gift that you gave to me and other senior citizens was right on time and again, I'm very appreciative."

Gratefully, Rose Mary Thomas 

What an answer to a prayer, (that you haven't even prayed yet).  Your boxes arrived just as we sent Marines out to a place that did not have much.  So, we took your boxes out, what a blessing to have a morale kit ready to go. 

Thank you, Lt. Butler-Sasga (Iraq)
