Special Thanks!

The CFC Veteran Ministry is grateful for the many CFC volunteers who lovingly support Veterans at CFC and throughout our community. This month, we are highlighting the small group co-led by Kitty Williams and Bernita Marion. This small group faithfully prepares CFC thank-you cards with scripture and flag crosses for each Honor Flight Veteran's mail bag for opening while on the airplane.

For the past two years, this group has prepared hundreds of cards, reflecting the hands and heart of Christ in a beautiful way. Their kindness leaves a lasting impact, seen in the many Veterans who display the cross on their Honor Flight caps. 

Thank you, Ladies!
