When you hear the phrase “Duty Free,” what comes to mind? If you’re like most, an exempt purchase is one of the first things. In Bristol Tennessee, you think of Hal Boyd and the talented group of guys that make up one of the area’s most popular bluegrass bands when Duty Free is mentioned.

Thank you, First Baptist Bristol Family,
For your ongoing prayers, encouraging cards, and gifts of food for our family. Words cannot express how your care and concern strengthened us during John’s illness and our eventual loss. Throughout this period, your love and service to me and my family fortified body and soul and re-assured me, through these acts of kindness, that God’s church is truly service through action.
Linda Kirk and the John A. Kirk family
