VOLUNTEER CHAPLAINS MEETING

Chaplain Jerry Leggett, Pastoral Care Director for Huntingdon and Union City Baptist Health Care, directed the meeting today. We had a great breakfast provided by the hospital kitchen staff. We discussed the various nuances of the Chaplaincy work. Brother Leggett thanked each one of the volunteers and presented each one with a desk notepad case. The meeting went well. It was a good time of fellowship, laughter and ministerial camaradarie. One of the volunteers, Brother James Humphreys said, "we all have one thing in common - the One who died on the cross."
