Congratulations, Pastor Diggins!

KWK's most recent photography job was for one of her teacher friends at Parkview who is also a pastor at a church in Malvern. We all loaded up in the Expedition and traveled along with another family friend to attend the celebration in his honor. He told us that it was just a little old church in the country, but we arrived to find quite a spectacular facility that seated a little over 300 people. Little, yeah right! Congratulations, Mr. D, for 23 years of service!

Max was his usual rambunctious self! This is an hour (felt like 3) before he feel asleep.

This woman was a jack of all trades. She was the event chair, program MC, a part of the praise team who performed three numbers, the decorator, the caterer, and she baked several homemade desserts, including a German chocolate cake, for the head table in the dining hall.

Pastor Yarborough gave a really good sermon and said lots of great things about Pastor Diggins and the influence he had had on his life starting form when he was just a young boy.
I ran into my Goddaughter, Skylar, who now resides in Chicago. Her grandmother and aunts attend the sister church (also in Malvern) that performed during the program. She is in Arkansas visiting for the summer and I hadn't heard from her yet. So it was a delightful treat to run into her at church. I hope she has time to come visit a few nights before she goes back to Chicago for the school year.
Skylar and her new God sister. This is the first time she's seen Maddy.
This is another pastor who spoke during the program from Little Rock. I included this picture because I wanted to get everyones opinion as to whether he also reminded you of Neno Brown from the New Jack City movie.
