An Honor!

On Sunday, we had the distinct privilege of honoring a group of people who have loved the church through the years, who have weathered storms, added insight, wisdom, spiritual counsel, and advice that only comes with the maturity of living a full life and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Thank you, senior adults, for going before us and setting the example.  You are appreciated, respected and very deeply loved.

Certainly not everyone was available for the picture Sunday, but we did have an amazing group show up with smiles!

Dwayne and Sandy.  Devoted, talented and incredibly photogenic.

Miss Lola and Miss Donna.  It's hard to call them seniors due to the amount of energy, spirit and love they pour into the church body.

Miss Norma.  Try finding someone with more humorous stories than a professional comedienne.  I dare ya!

Miss Viola.  A sweet, quiet spirit, who is always faithful.

Ummmm Dave and Jim....what are you guys doing here?

I took the liberty of compiling a few quotes.  Read, absorb, enjoy!
