Dear Vinton Baptist Church,

Thank you so much for my Bible. I greatly appreciate it! Thank you for being an amazing church family, for being a support system, and helping me to grow in my faith!

Sara Lang

To My VBC Family,

Thank you for the countless prayers you've lifted up for my mother. Your kindness and presence have meant more to me than words could fully express, especially during the difficult journey of my mother's dementia and her recent passing. In every hug, every thoughtful prayer, I have felt God's love through you. I am grateful for the comfort and support given to me in both joyful and this sorrowful time. Love,

Sandi Reeves
