THANK YOU SO MUCH! To My Precious Langley Family, I’m still smiling whenever I think of the grand celebration for my pastoral anniversary and birthday. I felt the love and appreciation from you. It was so very special. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the surprises, gifts, hugs, cards, flowers, planning, fun, laughter, mini cheerleaders, praise dancers, technology expertise and above all, the Praise Singers and the Word from Pastor Al. I am so blessed to be a part of such a warm and loving church family. Let’s continue to move forward in His name! Much love, Pastor Cynthia.
