3 3 a love letter from mother dora hardee trade post skills, businesses, trades Dear City Temple Family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts, prayers and visits. I am happy to say that I am doing just fine. However, I really do miss being with my church family on Sunday mornings. During my absence, I've been enjoying some of the church services on CDs. Listening to the CDs helps me feel closer to you almost as if I was there. I am so very thankful to God who has allowed me to see 98 years and I praise Him for every minute of each day. To be able to see the trees turn colors, to hear the birds sing, to hear the rain drops and to feel the sunshine and to not be in too much pain I know God has truly blessed me and I pray that He will continue to bless you, City Temple, as well. Although I can't get around like I used to, my doctors are so amazed to see how well I'm doing for someone who will soon be 99 years old this coming January. Although they think it's the prescriptions they prescribe to me, I quickly remind them that it is my Heavenly Father who really sustains me and the prayers of my City Temple family who encourages me. Again, I say with all sincerity, thank you and continue to pray for me as I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. Love to you all, Mother Dora Hardee Watkins Trade mark Deanna Miles-Brown Independent Watkins Associate Associate No N 717 Allendale Street Baltimore, MD Phone: (410) Cell: (410) jhb523@msn.com city temple spotlight arena players A PLAY DIRECTED BY ROBERT RUSSELL THE VISION coming soon COMING FEBRUARY 26, 2012 RAIN/SNOW DATE: MAY 6, 2012 Ms. Ellen V.
