THANK YOU: for all the help, encouragement, prayers, cards, and calls we recently received. Our God is wonderful! The image of Christ is seen in the believers at COD. To God be the glory, great things he has done. Prayer is the greatest contribution that we can make to the life of another. (Philippians 4:19) The Kitzmillers
