THE PROGRAM
Charles Broberg
and
Glen Pettit
once again put together a great
Clergy Recognition Day.

introduced the program, and
acted as master of ceremonies. The members of the clergy
represented six denominations, and were assigned a passage from
their holy word to read and use as the theme for their
presentation.
