Pastor J's 60/40 Celebration

Last Thursday evening, we celebrated two very significant milestones in the life of Pastor Alvin Jackson -- his 60th birthday (which was on July 10th) and the 40th anniversary of his call to ministry (while a student at Chapman University in 1970, Pastor J sensed his calling and began a journey that was completed in 1976 with his ordination after seminary at Duke University.)

We had a fun evening of music, food, stories, and two special guests from Tougaloo College -- president Dr. Beverly Wade Hogan and board member Isaac K. Byrd, Jr.

Special thanks to all those who made donations -- in honor of Pastor Jackson -- to the Clyde Cullen Jackson Scholarship Fund at Tougalee College. The fund, in memory of Pastor Jackson's father, has raised over $20,000.
