Let’s Celebrate

Ministers’ and Wives’ Christmas Party
 Robby Retirement Dinner
Blessed Beyond MeasureWhat a wonderful surprise! Sharon and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to our CRBA family for the incredible retirement celebration you shared with us last night. What we thought was going to be our annual Pastors and Wives Christmas Party turned out to be a beautiful evening filled with love, laughter, and memories we’ll treasure for years to come.
I’m not often surprised by much that happens in our Association—but you certainly kept this one under your hat! We were completely caught off guard and deeply humbled by your kind words, thoughtful gifts, and expressions of love and appreciation.
A special word of thanks goes to Veronica Klapp, Justin Cunningham, and Tammy Kerley, along with all those who worked quietly behind the scenes to make this evening so special. And thank you to El Bethel Baptist Church for being such a gracious host.
It has truly been our joy and privilege to serve alongside our 67 churches as we work together to reach Burke County and beyond for Christ. We are continually amazed by what God has done and will continue to do through the faithful partnership of our CRBA family.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for your love, encouragement, and support through the years.
Blessed Beyond Measure,
Robby & Sharon Smith
