Heartfelt Thanks to Our Church Community for the Benevolent Donations

06-25-2023Weekly ReflectionRev. Emmanuel I. Ihemedu

Dear Church Family,

I hope this letter finds you all in good health and high spirits.
It is with a mixture of sorrow and gratitude that I write to you today. Recently, my family suffered a tragic loss. My cousin, Odinaka, was cruelly taken from us through senseless violence in Nigeria. His sudden and heartbreaking departure left us all reeling and, admittedly, struggling to meet the financial burdens of the unexpected funeral costs.

In such a challenging time, I am deeply moved and humbled by the remarkable display of generosity, compassion, and unity this church community has demonstrated.

I am writing this letter to express my profound gratitude to each of you who extended a helping hand during this grief. Your generous contributions, no matter how big or small, will significantly offset the financial burden of Odinaka’s funeral expenses.

Your empathy and solidarity have provided financial support and emotional comfort, assuring us that we are not alone in our grief. It’s a poignant reminder that I am part of a loving, caring community that stands with its members through the highs and the lows, the joy and the pain.

My family and I have felt your prayers and witnessed your faith’s strength, which has given us the courage to endure. Odinaka’s loss is deeply felt, and his absence forever leaves a void in our hearts.

As we grieve and remember Odinaka, please take solace in knowing that your donations will serve a noble cause. We shall forever remember your kindness and your willingness to lend a hand when we needed it most. Through these acts of genuine compassion and love, we experience God’s grace and find the strength to face another day. Let us continue to uphold each other in love and prayer.

May the peace and love of God, which surpasses all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Thank you once again for your generous hearts.
