4 Dear FBC Columbia, Thank you so much for sharing your Pastor and his family with Evanston Baptist Church for a week this month. We were instructed and encouraged by your pastor s preaching of Psalm 23, Acts 2:42-47, and numerous other texts. Jonathan s love for God, for the church, and for the spread of the Gospel is contagious. You are blessed to have him as your Pastor! Yours In Christ, Scott Kelly Jeremiah 3:15 Dear Church Family, I was so blessed by your outpouring of love to me at my surprise birthday celebration.

7 Christian Activity Center East St. Louis, Illinois Caring For Kids In East St. Louis July 2, 2014 Dear First Baptist Church of Columbia, Thank you for providing Monteesha (8), Chis (8), Terrion )19), Airyana (11), and Jada (6) thrilling weeks of summer camp this July! Your $ gift is giving them good memories to offset bad; the opportunity to hike, swim, boat, and worship in the quiet of nature. You re providing entire weeks of three square meals a day, deep night time sleep, and lots of attention from grownups! Camp is a precious moment in childhood for us all. It has special implications for children in East St. Louis. Esteem is built through high-ropes experiences, canoeing, and rock climbing. And camp gives our kids faith experience that knit into their fiber for life. Our god is a gracious God. He loves to lavish. He loves to give. He loves to use people like you who serve and bring pride and hope to His babies here. On their behalf, we thank you. Thank You! Gratefully yours, Rev. Chet Cantrell and the CAC Staff
