APOPKA CHURCH HONORS PUBLIC LEADERS

by Thomas and Robert Broome
Early this year, Apopka Church celebrated Friendship Day to honor Mayor Joe Kilsheimer, Police Chief Robert M. Manley, Police Captain David Cook, and Fire Chief Lee Bronson. These public servants represent more than 50 years of combined community service.
Senior Pastor Steve Jencks and Associate Pastor Andrew Moreno presented the leaders with plaques to commemorate their dedication and service to the people of Apopka. Jencks offered special thanks to men and women in public service throughout the Apopka Community, who are not always recognized but always appreciated.
Jencks presented the morning message, Fallen and Forgiven, to a full-capacity church. His sermon conveyed love for one another in spite of diversity and imperfections. This message affirmed the church motto, Living for Others, That Others May Live.
After the church service, everyone was invited to a fellowship dinner and a special evening program featuring gospel singer Charles Haugabrooks.
