The Roberts Family Visits COP

We were thrilled to be able to extend Hospitality House for the use of our adopted family, Charles, Anne, and Andrew Roberts, from Gautier, Mississippi, who were here from July 5th until July 9th. The time span included Andrew’s 13th birthday, complete with cake and balloons and lots of goodies. Anne noted that his 12th birthday party was cut short by Katrina, but he was happy with his 13th.
Anne wrote: “The birthday celebration for Andrew will be memorable for all of us. He really enjoyed the company, the gifts and he told us that he had a lot of fun that night.
We also enjoyed worship with all of you on Sunday. You have a beautiful church and made us feel very comfortable there. You have a gifted speaker, who can really deliver the message, in Dr. Kirbas, and a caring mission pastor in Doug Gebhard. We also enjoyed seeing Mike after the service (the man who installed a lot of the sheetrock in our house).
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and the love that you have shown for us. The time in Sarasota was a true retreat for us. “
