48th anniversary

Not mine, but Emmanuel Baptist Church's 48th Anniversary.  Founded on June 6, 1964, the congregation and mission points celebrate every year for the entire month of June.  Here are some photos from this past Sunday's big celebration.  Unfortunately, I'd left my camera memory chip thing at home, and so only had the camera's internal memory ... No fear, more photos to come soon.  And as well, a few other entries from recent events.

Congregation.  I wish I had a head count, but likely around 250.  Any rate, the place was packed.

Oh, and I said life was getting exciting.  Suffice it to say there's a guy in this photo whose made my life pretty exciting lately.  Third from left, in the front, wearing glasses.

Bishop whose name I can't remember, who was asked to lead the commissioning service.
