In April, Gerald Speith will celebrate his 70th year (he started when he was 9!) of filling our church with the best music anywhere. If you have ever attended FBC Ava, if Gerald played at your wedding, if he was your favorite teacher or co-worker, send us a video or an email to tell him thanks, or tell us your favorite Gerald story and we will show them to him at our celebration. You can email them to Karensuethies@gmail.com by April 1st. We are hoping for a great response to show Gerald just how much he is appreciated and respected in our community. The video and email part of this is a surprise. He is blocked from this post, so mum's the word! And please share! This event will take place on April 19th at 10:00AM. All are welcome and we hope the church will be packed! There will be a meal to follow so stay and visit!
