When we think of these ministries, we can’t help but to show them love and appreciation for all that they do.

Dr. Michael Oyedokun, Jr. of the Love Community Baptist Church in Forney, Texas. Thank you in advance for helping us to honor these members who play a vital role in the life of our church!
