A Message from Ron and Anne Scates


January 1, 2018

Dear FPC covenant partners and friends,

Anne and I, and our entire family, have never felt as loved as we did last Sunday during the wonderful reception you held for us after worship. And we were simply amazed at the generous gifts that you bestowed upon us. It was like Christmas two weeks in a row! And we can’t thank you enough for all the kind and encouraging letters, cards, and promises of your prayers……especially as I leave for Jakarta. It is your prayers that will sustain and buoy me for the next 6 months. Come Easter — Lord willing — I will be home for two weeks, so I hope to see many of you then……..and then come July, Anne and I will be in the “Zbinden pew” every Sunday to worship and sit under the powerful preaching of Bob.

You have loved us and discipled us for over 40 years, and we are so grateful to the Lord for His bringing us to FPC…….again, again, and again. Thank you, thank you, thank you…..for who you are…..and for Whose you are. May the Lord bless you mightily in the new year ahead. Be strong in Him.
