9-6-2024 - I received a letter in the mail today.  I letter that needed to be shared from a person I did not know.  The letter began, "I am a patient at the cancer center in Alpena Hospital.  I saw a tag on the bag of chips.  I want to say thank you for your generous donation.  A simple bag of chips might not seem like much, but your kindness is felt.   Sometimes the smallest gesture is a big gift to the recipient.  I am sure there are many here who feel the same." The letter was signed by, "Carol."
People of God at St. Paul, thank you for supporting the ministry to the Cancer Center in our hospital.  You have touched the lives of so many people with the love of Jesus.
