Recently, the Fall Creek Church family honored 10 of its long-time senior members for their 263 cumulative years of unselfish dedication and outstanding service to the Fall Creek Church. During a special church service, filled with music, prayer, and recognition for jobs well done, David McCoy, pastor, presented each recipient with a certificate of appreciation and a gift certificate to the ABC. Following the service, a special luncheon was held.
During the past 30 years, each of these 10 mighty men and women of God have served in a variety of church offices. In addition, they have used their talents in providing music and being prayer leaders. They have donated their time when carpentry and electrical skills were needed. They cooked, they cleaned. They maintained the church grounds and buildings. They nurtured, they ministered, and they led.
Their selfless ministry is a shining example and inspiration to each one of us. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
