Personal Thoughts
COB Here is an opportunity for you to tell others why you love the Church of the Brethren, or how it has especially ministered to you. Perhaps the COB has touched you through a favorite pastor, deacon, teacher, or scheduled event. Use this opportunity to express your humble gratitude, for the Brethren men and women who have especially touched your life.
