JEFF'S 25TH ANNIVERSARY / NOVEMBER 9 / 8:30a & 11a
Congratulations Jeff Elkins on 25 years of ministry at FBC, Tulsa! We will celebrate Jeff’s anniversary on Sunday, November 9 in both the 8:30 and 11a services. Receptions will be on the 4th floor of the Children’s Building following each service. If you choose to bless Jeff and Jane with a gift, Venmo will be the most convenient method to make a financial contribution (@Jeff-Elkins-2). If individuals choose to write a check for this reason, it should be made payable to Jeff Elkins, NOT to First Baptist Church. Other cards and notes are also appreciated.
