My Dear Eastern Kentucky Friends and Colleagues,

Greetings in the Name of the Lord.

As Thanksgiving approaches I trust each of us realizes we have much to be thankful for. God has truly blessed us in so many
ways all we can do is give him praise and glory. David says in Psalm 9:1 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I
will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

We have many exciting events taking place across our great district in the months ahead. I would like to highlight several.
