     Dear Zion Church Family, 

     What a beautiful expression of love you all showed in helping make Pastor Rob and 

     his family's reception such a special occasion.  Every detail - from the planning and

     preparation, to the flowers, candy poster, beautifully framed and signed photos and

     gifts, to the delicious food, the carefully decorated cake, and multitude of desserts, 

     the serving, and waiting on each other, and even the clean-up - all done with such care 

     and generosity.  We are deeply grateful for the many hands and hearts that came 

     together to show others what the body of Christ can look like and to bless the Dagan’s 

     in this way.  Your outpouring of love made the day not only memorable, but also a 

     true reflection of the family of God in action.
