Dolly and I moved to Statesboro when I was 40 years old, and now I am 78 – 38 plus years a member. Our family picked Pittman Park because our son Marion said “I like Mr. (Walt) Campbell.” So that was it. Rev. Larry Roberts was the pastor, so that makes seven or eight pastors I’ve had the honor to be led by.
I’ve had three kids to grow up influenced by PPUMC, married our daughter, sadly buried a wife, and I have prayed at its Altar more times than be counted. The Fellowship Class has been a big part of my (and Dolly’s) life. The Woody Powell sharing group a strong force in my life. I’ve seen many good
things like missions outside and inside the country, to Back Pack Buddies, Food Bank, and the best would be Pittman Park Education Center for kids, or the building of the Fellowship Hall.
I have had the pleasure and honor of being the chairperson of many groups within like Council, Board, Sunday School class and count it a blessing to have served.
I’m now just a member, but the Sunday School class, Woody Powell Group, Life Group, and Membership continue to guide me.
Thank you PPUMC
