Fundraising Banquet on Thursday, May 20, 2010

You are invited to attend our very first Fundraising Banquet on Thursday, May 20th at 7pm. The banquet will be held at the Bethesda Ruritan Club, 1714 South Miami Boulevard in Durham. Tickets are $10 per person.

Durham Police Officer Damon Youmans will be our special guest. Damon was wounded while answering a call in July last year and is now back on the streets in District 3 after a lengthy recovery. Officer Youmans will be presented the Emergency Chaplains' Hometown Hero of the Year Award at the banquet.

Our keynote speaker for the evening will be Rev. John Butler from the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. Before he became the Executive Leader of Business Services for the Convention, John served as Sr. Pastor of First Baptist Church in Matthews, NC.

Pastor John will be remembered by many around Durham because of his service to Bethesda Baptist Church where he served as Sr. Pastor during the 1990s. When you hear him speak on May 20th, you will hear from a man who has encouraged me in ministry since 1993. Sometimes his vision for the ministry of Emergency Chaplains scares me...because he sees big things happening...bigger than I am prepared to think about. Be there and be ready to hear Pastor John share what he believes God can do through us.

Dinner will begin at 7:00pm with the program to follow. Dress for the event will be business casual. (translation: no dress code...but dress up if you want to)

See you at the banquet!
Chaplain Ralph
