Our special meeting that honored our Sunshine members past and present was held this past Tuesday, May 12th. There were 45 in attendance to enjoy the program and the fish dinner.
The Sunshine Club began in 1977 and six past members present for this meeting were Mary Bell, Lorene Branning, Mildred Brannon, Bertha Smith, Eunice Stanley, and Bessie Ruth Trappe. They were presented a special gift package filled with love. Four members unable to attend were given gifts also – they were Ruby Bryant, Dorothy Johnson, Erma and L. T. Lane. Ruby Bryant was the director of the Sunshine Club for many years.
After a welcome by Martha Greeson, our pastor, Bro. Chris Roberts, opened the meeting with a prayer. Donnie Smith, a past music director of Immanuel presented the special music. He sang “Midnight Cry” and “Beulah Land”. A DVD with memories from 1990 was shown and enjoyed by all. Bro. Randy Kuhn spoke words of encouragement and reminded us as we travel down memory lane to be grateful of all God’s blessings. These blessings instruct us and guide us and inspire us to continue to serve Him in the future.
After the program we adjourned to the fellowship hall for a fish dinner with all the trimmings. Alex Pitts and his crew were responsible for this delightful dinner. Thank you Alex for making this day so special.
