Thank You for Your Servant Heart

Thank You to everyone who...
....brought food
....helped set up
....transported food to the reception hall
....worked in the kitchen
....helped clean up
....and just loved on Melinda and Christine!

The Celebration of Bob Salliby's life was amazing today!!!  As the pews filled up, it was evident that Bob touched many, many lives! There were young and old alike in attendance at his funeral.  Those who traveled one mile and those who traveled a 100 miles.   Many of Bob and Melinda's friends and family traveled from RI, including a bus full of friends from their old church.

Pastor Mark, Pastor Dave and Pastor Harv did a wonderful job officiating the celebration.  These men were not just Bob's co-workers, but his friends!   Caitlin signed "I Can Only Imagine" in honor of her best friend's daddy and Bob's brother, Chick, spoke so eloquently about his brother's life and his ministry.

However, most would agree that the playing of Bob's evangelism CD "Amazing Love" was the best part of this celebration.  One last time for Bob to preach the salvation message and give an opportunity for family and friends to come to the Lord and receive the gift of eternal life in Heaven. Many gave their lives to the Lord today!!! Praise God! 

We want to thank everyone who helped make this day a truly day of celebration for Melinda, Christine and Bob's entire family.  We couln't have done it without all your help! 

With Great Appreciation...
We remain In Line With the Word
