This weekend was especially sweet as our friends Pat and Al Ramos drove up from Rome, Georgia to take part (we knew them when they lived in Phoenix.)  Bob Simmons came all the way from Texarkana to be with us and is planning a Praise & Harmony weekend later this year.  It was great to see Terry & Karise Cheatham (as many of you know, Terry is an original member of AVB) who currently work with the worship at Western Hills.  My good friend, Brian Knost, brought a bunch of folks from Hermitage to make this Praise & Harmony event even sweeter.  I thank Jim & Charlotte Harkness for helping with the weekend, as well as Rex & Eve Dillinger, who traveled all the way from Indiana to help us with this ministry.  The Dillingers are such an inspiration!

Johnny Markum is the youth minister for College Hills who has served for the past 16 years.  Jon Shoulders, president of Friendship Christian is a member of this great church.

College Hills is utilizing interim preachers for several months.  Jim Woodroof is currently filling the pulpit and Steve Flatt (former Madison preacher and Lipscomb University President) will soon be doing the same.  Not a bad line up, eh?
