Last night, Western Piedmont Community College (WPCC) held the graduation ceremony for the graduating class, 2024-01, of the Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) program. This class was unique, as it represented a pilot program for the new six-month comprehensive BLET training, which was conducted at various colleges across the State of North Carolina. The program achieved a 100% pass rate and is recognized as one of the top programs in the State of North Carolina.

Sheriff Hinceman is proud to welcome three new deputies to the Burke County Sheriff's Office: Deputy Esteban Berrospe, Deputy Lewis Carswell, and Deputy Jakob Walker. Their remarkable accomplishments during training are worth noting. Deputy Esteban Berrospe was selected by his peers as the 2024-01 Class President, and he delivered a compelling speech on behalf of the graduating class. Deputy Lewis Carswell's excellence was evident in several areas, earning him the Physical Fitness Award, the Fi****ms Award, and the Drivers Training Award.

In addition to recognizing the graduates, we want to commend Burke County Sheriff's Office Captain Joseph "Jeff" Robinson, who received the Instructor Honors from the class, selected by the graduates as the best instructor among 60 dedicated trainers.

Sheriff Hinceman would like to extend his heartfelt thanks to the WPCC Law Enforcement Training Center for their unwavering support and commitment to excellence, which contributes significantly to the strength and readiness of the Burke County Sheriff's Office and the broader law enforcement community in our region.

"Folks, I am sorry to report that due to the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths related to COVID 19 we have been directed by the bishop and the cabinet to delay our move back to the sanctuary."

So, we will meet outside, under the trees by the big parking lot on the south side of the church. Please make sure everyone wears a mask.. Family groups living in the same home may sit together, otherwise each person or group is to be six away from other persons or groups.

My voice projects well and believe you will be able to hear me. I'll check that out once we get started. I think this will work. The bishop also recommends that we not pass out bulletins and that we don't use hymnals. I think we can sing at least one verse of the chosen songs for this week. All the songs are patriotic, since this is the 4th of July weekend.
Ray will have bottles of water in a cooler for folks to get. He will put out a box in which to place offerings.
I pray this works well for everyone.
Blessings, Pat

For Thursday, June 25 2020
Luke 6:46-49

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
