Calvary Baptist Church, Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, celebrated a pair of milestones in October.
First, the church observed its 85th anniversary. Second, the congregation managed to pull off a surprise celebration for its pastor, Jeff Howell.
The night of celebration for Jeff included members of the church and the Howells’ adult children sharing memories of his ministry. “It was a sweet time of remembering,” says Ryan Schildroth, associate pastor.
Jeff has been pastor of Calvary Baptist Church since 1993.
“As a church, we are so thankful for God’s ongoing faithfulness represented by both of these milestones!”
