FROM THE MAILBAG

Dear Central Christian friends,
   Thank you so much for the many members who called, brought over goodies, and prayed for me during my recovery from spinal fusion surgery.
   I know my parents, Max & Mary Johnson, received stars in their crowns for nursing me back to health and so appreciated your outflowing of support.
   I have told my pastor in Garden City that I was truly blessed to have two church families praying for me.  The power of your prayers have continued to heal me each day.  It was good to be home at Central.  Debra Jones
