A Christmas Thank You

Susan and I want to thank all who have contributed to make our first Christmas at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Absarokee so memorable. The kindnesses extended to us, your cards, cookies, and gifts are deeply held and greatly appreciated.
This congregation and this community carries the Spirit of Christ within their hearts. May this Spirit of Christ live and dwell within you throughout the year to come. This generous and loving spirit is the candle that is put on the stand to illuminate the whole room. May your loving and generous spirit illuminate and shine upon all whom you encounter as you engage in your livelihood and daily activity.
Thank you again for your loving kindness and generous spirit. We greatly appreciate your kindness and generosity, and hold it dearly. God’s peace and blessings to you all.

Rev. Robert Kieffer Leaverton and Susan Elizabeth Leaverton
