Thank You: Dear JA Family, words can’t describe how wonderful you all have been during Brayden’s long fight with lymphoma. We appreciate all of the cards, gifts, notes and generosity that have poured out from the entire congregation. This time has been the most difficult in our lives; however, knowing that we have so many people praying for him and us and so many people loving on us has made it just a little easier. To the youth group—you guys are awesome and you have made Brayden feel so loved. Thank you. Thank you for always taking care of Mac too. We covet your prayers in the next couple weeks during his CAR-T treatment. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Wil & Jenny Wilcox, Brayden and Mac
