DEAR TURPIN MENNONITE CHURCH FAMIL,  Max and I can’t even begin to thank you enough.  First of all the visits at Wesley Medical Center meant so much to Max to see faces from home to ease his fears.  The meals from the women in the church were delicious and so helpful during our fall harvest time.  The cards, the texts, calls and so many visits. Thank you to our wonderful, kind hearted Pastor Terry.  The church has been so blessed to have you and and Jerilee in it.  And last but not least, the “Power of Prayer.”  We felt them all and know where they came from.  Thank you.  With sincere Love,

Max and Sally Huling
