From Our College Students
Dear Huron Shores,
Thank you so much for the gift card. It was a wonderful surprise to receive, and will definitely be put to good use. I’m just finishing my first year classes. I took baking, butchery, pastries, and breakfast. I am learning so much. I got asked to be Sous Chef for the butchery class which is an amazing accomplishment.
I am so thankful to have my friend’s from church praying for me. God has been working wonders in my life and I’m truly thankful. God works in great ways.
-Love, Taylor Strich

Thank you so much for the card and gift certificate. It is greatly appreciated, and a huge booster in a very stressful time in school. I cannot thank you enough for your love, and prayers. I look forward to seeing you all soon, and I hope that things are going well in the laboring transformation of a Christ centered and community serving church that Alpena so desperately needs.
Love and God Bless! – Cam Duncan

You Are Such A Blessing!
Thank you so much for the gift! Your thoughts and prayers are what gets me through.
Renee Sytek

Dear Huron Shores
I cannot thank you enough for your continual support and prayers. They mean the absolute world to me. Sometimes as a college student it’s easy to feel a little alone because everything is different and changing, and it means so much to know that I am remembered and thought of. Thank you for showing Christ’s love to me in more ways than one.
Blessings, Lexi Saddler

“Freedom From…”Have you ever felt stuck struggling in a bad situation, in a habit or in the past? Everyone has at one time or another. Sometimes we endure short term inconveniences. Other situations can be far more consuming, isolating and devastating. You may feel that no one is mired as deeply as you. How could there possibly be hope to move out of the entrapment? There is hope for freedom!

Our new message series, “Freedom From…” will help us find Biblical guidance in dealing with our struggles with emotional pain, addictions, guilt, shame, perfectionism and the ruts of life. Plan to join us and bring a friend Sunday mornings, April 12th through May 3rd, at Huron Shores Fellowship for these messages offering real hope for very real struggles.

Dear Huron Shores Family,
Thank you very much for the Visa gift card! I greatly appreciate it, and it is nice to know that there are people thinking of you.                             With Love, Esther Hardies

Dear Huron Shores Family,
Thank you so much for thinking of me and giving me the generous gift of a Visa gift card. It is incredible how I can receive a gift like this and still feel like I’m getting hugged by the entire congregation. I certainly feel Christ’s love from all of you. It is also uplifting to know that my church family is still thinking and praying for me even though I’m not physically there. Thanks again.
Love, Kelsey Lewis

Dear HSF Family,
Thank you so much for the card and gift. It was such a nice surprise and made my day. Knowing that I have a church family always praying for me and encouraging me is truly priceless. I hope to see you all again soon and until then, God Bless!
