GCBI ANNUAL SCRAMBLES
GOLF TOURNAMENT
The fellowship honoring Bro. Elester Raines for 65 years of
service in the Gospel ministry was held at Camp Glenwood on Saturday
May 11, 2013. There was a good turn out with many friends and family of
Bro. Raines in attendance. Everyone had a fun time of telling stories and
reminiscing about the old days.
Bro. Bryan Sellers was the guest speaker and did a wonderful job
of reminding everyone about “The Keys to a Successful Ministry.” (1)
Stick to the Message (2) Hold to an Uncompromising Stand (3) Hold to
an Undeniable Hope. Everyone had a great time of fellowship that day
and the meal afterward was fantastic.
The Annual GCBI Scrambles Golf Tournament was held at Oka-toma Golf Course again this year. Left to Right: Debbie Miller, Lowell McAfee, Steve Miller, Christian Brady, Justin McCormick, Kermit Groat, Tom Scarlett, Doris Scarlett and Bubba Miller driving the cart. We were down in numbers this year but we couldn’t have had a better time. Team Scarlett came away with the trophies this year.
