In the recent story in US News & World Report detailing the New Orleans recovery efforts, they quote Major Speights, a Bible Study leader in our church. Major and his wife LaRue are incredible people. It is a little funny they say Major is "from Texas." He is a retired pastor who served faithfully in Louisiana for many years and has only been in Texas for the last few years. They are active leaders in our congregation, where she is a leader in our First Place Ministry, he is an active deacon, and they lead our Wednesday night prayer meetings. They model servanthood and are a blessing to many. I encourage you to read the short article and to follow Major and LaRue's example.
