We would like to say, "Thank you so much" you the members of Peace Lutheran Church who donated their portion to the 50th

Anniversary of Peace Lutheran Church that made it possible for us to buy this bus to transport the African Immigrant families who

do not have their own transportation to church on Sunday. We thank our Almighty for you and may He continue to use you to share

His blessings to the world as you have known doing that. The children like to ride the bus to Church as well as their families, and they

are always praising God as well as those they share the news with. Praise be to God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, the risen one.

Amen.
