Friends Forever

April 12, 2016 by Lanita Boyd

When we first came to Central Church of Christ 40 years ago, everyone was very welcoming. They’d been without a minister of any kind for months and were happy to have a pulpit minister on whom they could rely for spiritual food every Sunday.

What a great Thanksgiving party we had last night! Althea and I had prepared pumpkin squares (big pan version of pumpkin pie), brownies, Craisins, bananas with peanut butter, candy corn, hot spiced cider, and sweet tea. Odd combination?
