Last night PHOEBE Connections had the honor of recognizing the most amazing group of young people in Wilson County with $2,000 scholarships at our annual scholarship banquet! Nineteen children of widows received scholarships, and for the first time, three students received Carol Ballard Pharris Scholarships for demonstrating excellence in servant leadership. We cannot think of a better way to invest in the next generation!
Many thanks to First Baptist Church, Lebanon, their deacons and wives for hosting us and serving our meal! You were a shining example of servant leadership, and we could not do this without your support!
We also had the most wonderfully inspiring guest speaker who challenged us to consider what we think of God, what we think of ourselves, and what we think of others. Thank you, Brother Patrick Johnson for your thoughtful message! Brother Johnson is director of the Lebanon Housing Authority and pastor of Peyton Road Church of Christ.
