Well, good news travels fast and I am hearing what a success and what a wonder time so many people had last night at the hynm sing held at the First Baptist Church in New Church, Virginia for Courtney Bloxom. It's so wonderful to know that so many people congregated together to lift their voices and hearts to help Courtney and her family. What wonderful communities we live in!
If you would like to give a donation to benefit Courtney the information can be found on her facebook page..."Prayers For Courtney Bloxom". Donations and even words of encouragement are always welcomed.
And as always........
Please continue to keep Courtney Bloxom and her family in your prayers.
