South Gate Family,

Thank you, South Gate, for all you've done for me and my family. We're truly grateful and appreciate everyone who helped with our move. The beautiful gifts and blessings that you all gave is so heartfelt and wonderful. We started off our journey at one shelter and had to go to another one. But God saw fit and truly blessed my family with our own place again. With your help and generosity, we have so much to be grateful for. Thank you for the new beginning & start. We love you, and again, thank you so much.
Amen
Latonia S., Sincere & Izayah
Thank you for your help us move God blessed.

Salvation, spiritual transformation, or health concerns that you want to be listed on the weekly prayer sheet need to be submitted by Wednesday noon. This is not a confidential document, therefore, please ask permission from the person before sharing their need. Contact the church office anytime if you have an urgent need.
