18th Annual Capital Awards Banquet

07/15/2024

An unexpected but appreciated huge gesture from my congregation. McAlmont Church of Christ recently informed me and publicized that the church is planning an appreciation event in honor of my wife and me on August 31 at 4 pm. My profound gratitude to the leadership, and the membership for such kindness extended to us. I am highly indebted to you for your kindness and thoughtfulness and for the blessing and joy of serving as your minister. My heart floods with gratitude.
