A special invitation to all...
|
|
This is the multi-talented Chris Burton, Director of Handbells and AV, with his wife Shelley (also multi-talented) and son James (who will probably be extraordinally talented considering who is parents are). Even while preparing for a fantastic Ring Noel last Saturday, Chris managed to put together this very clever video invitation.
Enjoy this First Church E-News.

First Church's Boy Scout Troop 157 has a new Eagle Scout.
|
|
William Alan Taylor has attained the rank of Eagle Scout. His Eagle Scout Service project was to build a bicycle pad for the Texas Baptist Children’s Home in Round Rock. The 17’ by 6’ bicycle pad was constructed with paver stones and his project required 85 hours of service to complete. He also completed his required merit badges. Congratulations to William for all of his great work.
