"Sir, we would like to see Jesus."

This was a very special weekend at our church...we celebrated Max's 20th anniversary at Oak Hills Church. He was totally surprised last night at the 5pm service when he and Denalyn were called to the front and presented with a plaque thanking him for "showing us Jesus" (Jn. 12:21) as it says on the pulpit in our sanctuary. Then this afternoon, an open house was held as a time of personal thanks to both Max and Denalyn. Hundreds of people were there, but Larry and I got to the church early before most of the crowd arrived. This is a picture of one of my kindergarten students visiting with Max. It was amazing how much time Max spent with each family and it was also obvious how much he enjoys the children...he is a very special man and his committment to our Lord is evident in his life!
