[Editor's Comment: It is my understanding that Pastor Harrison "Buddy" Harrison will welcome the congregation and offer a Scripture and prayer. Others participating will be Dr. Ron White, President of Emmanuel College, Presiding Bishop Doug Beacham, with Dr. Mike Stewart, former President of Emmanuel College, bringing the message from Holy Scripture. Stanley Oliver will sing a solo.]
