Hargrave-Library
Library Visit
Roy Hargrave, who pastored at Riverbend for 25 years (1989-2014), poses last Wednesday with wife Marki inside the CTS library that bears his name.  The seminary, which was a long-time dream of Pastor Roy's before he became ill, began classes in August with 15 degree-seeking students and 17 auditing students.  This was the Hargraves' first visit to the library, as they spent most of the summer in Arkansas ... The sign (above), which is over the door to the library, was created by Riverbend craftsman Jim Learn.     Photo by Pastor Jason Karr
