From Rev. Yugo and Elizabeth Suzuki
 To our many friends at JAUC, Elizabeth and I wish to express our most sincere gratitude for your many cards, gifts and kind words. We have only been with you a few months but you have taken us in and made us feel very much a part of your church family. We are also thankful for the many helping hands that have pitched in and spent countless hours to make both the Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas Luncheon such joyous and memorable events. You have served not only our church but have been a welcoming beacon to the larger community. We pray each of you will have a happy, healthy and blessed New Year.
