Dear Zion UMC Family, I just wanted to thank you all for the care package and all the names signed on my card. Your love, prayers, and kindness truly touched my heart and reminded me how blessed I am to be part of such a caring church family. Your support means more to me than words can express. Thank you for thinking of me and for surrounding me with your love and encouragement.
