Honor To Whom Honor Is Due

On Sunday, November 15, 2015, the Palm Beach Lakes congregation honored three men,

who have each served as shepherds for almost four decades.

Johnny & Betty Davis Joe & Marian Holland Jerry & Shirley Hopkins

This congregation is indebted to these men (and their wives) for their dedicated service to the Lord and His bride.

While there is no way to fully express our gratitude or repay these men for their many sacrifices, each man was presented with a plaque, a binder full of letters of

appreciation from PBL members and a gift card (especially for his wife).

Johnny, Joe & Jerry, we love and appreciate you dearly!
