THANK YOU

We would like to thank everyone who has been giving us rides so that we can come to Ireton CRC. We love our church and are so thankful for our church family!

Velda Juffer and Chris Schouten

Thank you to everyone for your cards and prayers when my sister-in-law, Joyce Schouten passed away. I really appreciated it.

Chris Schouten

Thank you to all those who remembered me with cards, visits and delicious food. Your thoughtfulness will be remembered.

Ruth Dorhout

The Soup Supper Committee would like to thank everyone who came out and supported our Christian Ed Soup Supper. A special thanks to all those who helped us were willing to make a dessert. The food was delicious and we were able to make approximately $1300 for Christian Ed. Thanks again, we appreciate everyone’s help.

Thank You to all of you who sent me sympathy by card or by words at the time of my sister Jennie Dragstra’s passing.
