Kingstown Church of Christ (KCC), on Wednesday March 18, hosted a graduation ceremony and farewell celebration to mark the end of the 11-week Fishers of Men (FOM) course. The event marked a end of a week of celebrations that began in Sandy Bay on Sunday 15, and continued in Richland Park on Tuesday 17. The 6PM ceremony, which commenced with a prayer and opening remarks by Elton Lewis, evangelist at KCC, was to honor the 59 students who took the course at Kingstown. Students were awarded certificates of completion and received fish-hook pins. Acknowledgement was also made of the patient contribution of the many study parters, without whom the course would not be complete. A surprise presentation of tokens of appreciation was made to Ron and Louise Maynard. The ceremony ended with a prayer by Joel H. Jack and was followed with light refreshments.
On the following day (Thursday 19), Ron and Louise Maynard caught an early morning flight back to the United States where they will soon be conducting another series of FOM sessions beginning in early spring. [GET MORE DETAILS IN THEIR MARCH 2015 NEWSLETTER]
