Alpha 25

At Alpha's banquet Friday night, the ministry celebrated its 25th anniversary by inaugurating an annual award called the "Church Partner Award." Tenth is the first recipient. Linda Boice accepted a plaque on behalf of the church. It reads: "For initiative and vision, encouragement and leadership, under the ministry of James M. Boice. For continuing and current faithful support, under the ministry of Philip G. Ryken."

I'll have it placed in one of the narthex cases for this Sunday. Also recognized were the founders of the ministry: Wayne and Joan Brauning, Chris Felser, Robin Kamp, Jacqueline Kamp, Frank King, Ken Madgin, David and Yoshin Swank.
