| Our daughter Bethany graduated May 4, 2015, from the Foundation for Christian Life Program, a one-year Bible course, at The Crown College of The Bible in Powell, Tennessee. She received a certificate for this course which includes the Bible classes for all four years of any course taken at the college. The Servant's Towel -- Each Crown College graduate is presented with a towel embroidered with John 13:12-17. The embroidered towel symbolizes the principle of biblical leadership. Verses fourteen and fifteen of John chapter thirteen give us the words of our Lord, "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." |
►The exact moment! =D

| I love my family! Callie Anne is 5 months old here. =) |
Bethany got to enjoy singing with the Crown College Choir this year. You can see them sing at the graduation. She is actually kind of behind the piano, but when shown from the side, her head can be seen a few times behind a plant, lol. She can be seen at the beginning of the second song at 1:35:20. (But the first song is my favorite.)
They made a new CD this year which can be purchased here. Both the songs sung at the graduation are on the CD.
I remember back in January when they were recording, Bethany called and told me they were going to be Live online! I was so excited to get to hear them! "Precious Lord" (the first song sung at the graduation) was one of the songs they sang Live.
She texted me afterward and told me she was the one doing the aaaahh-ahhh-aaah part. I was like... uhh, really??
And she said, LOL, no! ;) She is such fun! =D
So now every time I hear this song, that is what I think of, lol.
During recording:
 |
| Bethany is touring this summer with a singing group from the college. They will be travelling to 62 churches in the general Mid-Atlantic area. |
 |
| All the groups are pictured here with Pastor and Mrs. Sexton. |
 |
| With their sweet chaperones, and the pastor and his wife at the church of their first stop on the tour. |
Hear them sing "Jesus Passed By My Way"
(I believe this is the first time they sang together in front of people!)
Hear them sing "How Deep the Father's Love"
I encourage you to continue watching this last video. The other tour groups also sing, and four young men preached who graduated this year. One is a young man from Nepal, who, even before the first earthquake (4/25/15), had already gotten a group together to go minister there this summer. We are praying that something good will come of this tragedy, and that people will to want to turn to God.
They had not arrived at Nepal at the time I wrote this, as a second earthquake (5/12/15) had caused the airports there to be closed. He reported that his family there are all safe, but many other loved ones have suffered and/or lost family members.
Please be in prayer for the tour groups, the Nepal mission group and the people of Nepal, and others who are going out this year to continue to minister and disciple as they have been taught and have been doing these past years in college.
Please pray for Bethany this summer and during her next 3 years of college!!
And for Mom and Dad. =)
UPDATE: Hear the Crown Mid-Atlantic Trio singing at the God Bless America Crusade in Richmond, VA, September, 2015. I do believe they have improved much since first beginning to sing together!
Read about it here.
Sorry about the video quality. We videoed the computer screen with my phone! =)
