Dear Riverchase Family, Thank you for the beautiful get well cards, the handwritten notes, phone calls and especially the prayers during my brief bout with kidney stones. I’m doing much better and it’s great to be in church again. With Love, Jane Windham

To Everyone at Riverchase Church of Christ, Thank you for being so nice to us while Hunter is in the hospital. We appreciate everything you have done. The gift cards, calls, visits and especially your prayers. I have never felt so much love from people who didn’t even know us. Now feel like we have made some friends for life. With Love, Tena and Hunter Shankles

Dear Riverchase Family, We have again been reminded of the blessings we have in Christ. Our hearts were full as many of our dearest friends from Riverchase made the journey to Greenville for Tommy’s funeral. We are grateful for your prayers, cards, acts of generosity and kindness. Continue to remember us in prayer. You are very special to us With Love, The Hobbie Family
