BCM lunch at SLU

Thanks to all who prepared or purchased food for the meal.  We hit the  “nail on the head” with our slight changes in the menu.  We had big smiles and compliments from almost every student.  Thanks to the Sunday School classes that participated and to James Rimes, Eleanor Morris, Smiley and Carol Jean Conerly, and David and Anna Lee for servant-like attitudes in transporting, preparing, serving, and cleaning up..  Special, special thanks to Marty and Gretchen Simpson for their skills and work in preparing the jambalaya.  Thanks too, to Bro. Michael, Brandi, and Paxton for traveling down so Bro. Michael could speak to the BCM students.  We’ll do this again next year and look forward to doing so.
