Wonderful Celebration for Ray and Vanessa Conway - Sunday, August 15, 2010

A journey that began way back in January 1981 with a small interruption along the way, culminated on Sunday, August 15 with a packed house, special music, heartfelt speakers, tears, laughter, smiles and hugs and one great catered meal.

Ray and Vanessa Conway are in fact two of the very best and we are grateful and fortunate to call them ours and for them to call us home. God bless Ray and Vanessa and thanks to each of you for the thousands of ways you have impacted this church, this community and all our hearts.

Many thanks to Mike Thrift and the steering committee for this celebration. Enough cannot be said, but praise the Lord for your vision, your diligence and your tireless efforts. Each part of the celebration was just an extension of a very successful ministry that we celebrated this past weekend.
