FOUNDERS' DAY

On Saturday, August 14, 2004,  the Spencer Perkins Center (SPC) celebrated its History & Legacy at the center in  Jackson and celebrated Grandma Perkins' 71st birthday.  It was an afternoon of fun, food and entertainment.

	We had great food! Barbeque ribs and chicken, hotdogs and hamburgers, grilled corn, watermelon, tea cakes and more.
Chef Paul Hardy on the grill.
Friends and family, young and old, ate and talked under the pavilion.
	Sharing memories from years of laboring in the vineyard together.
Sis. Marlene telling one of those           "Remember when stories..."

	Since 2002, John and Vera Mae Perkins have presented a lifetime achievement award to an individual or ministry that has faithfully served in the area of Christian Community Development for 25 years or more.

2003 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Rev. Clevie Snell.

Founders' Day was truly a beautiful time to reflect on the history of our ministries, as well as to look ahead to what God will do among us.

If you were not able to make the 2004 celebration, we invite you to join us in Jackson, MS in 2005.
