Your view: Vigil a success

Sunday, April 27, 2003

Thank you for participating in the community wide "Let's Support Our Troops" prayer vigil and tribute hosted by our church, First Baptist of Sikeston, on April 17.

We appreciate your generous donation to this worthy event. From all accounts, it was a huge success and a very moving moment. Over 400 of our residents joined us and participated. It was right for us to pray together and show our support for the troops. The great thing is that by the next morning, our POWs were rescued and set free!

Again, thank you for standing with us. You are to be commended for your concern and commitment for our community and country. May God bless you and if there is any way we can minister to you, please do not hesitate to call upon us.

Dr. Rick Ramsey, senior pastor

First Baptist Church, Sikeston
