2015 Centre Association Pastors and Spouses

 

The Centre Association Pastors and Spouses met at Hoss's in Huntingdon. It was great seeing so many friends. Lots of laughter. One of the things that made the Centre Association Pastor's meeting fun was the special events represented around the table. Pastor David and Valerie Ford were celebrating their anniversary and Pastor John Staje and Pastor Ray Crownover were celebrating birthdays. Hoss's staff made it fun.
