Weekly bible study is one of the ministries of Reverend Roger Tarver and the members of First Baptist Church of Crowley. Each Tuesday morning residents at Southwind Assisted Living are treated to music and Sunday school lessons by several caring church members. Among those in attendance Tuesday, August 16, were, front row from left, Reverend Roger Tarver, Pat Andrepont, Kenneth Richard, Jimmy Meche, Harry Shreve (resident), Joanna Pruitt; back row, Elaine Simon and Reverend Larry Evans (associate pastor and music director.)
In 2008 he and a group of First Baptist Church members began a Bible study in which Sunday school teachers rotate each week, teaching the lessons from the previous Sunday, to residents at Southwind Assisted Living every Tuesday morning.
The participating teachers are Pat Andrepont, Kurt Buescher, Ron Lawson, Kenneth Richard and Peggy Sandidge who substitutes. Occasionally Roger Tarver and Jimmy Meche also participate.
The sessions always begin with music. Reverend Larry Evans leads the group in singing several hymns, accompanied by Jackie Buescher on the keyboard. Elaine Simon and Joanna Pruitt serve as substitute pianists.
Kenny Richard enlivens the singing with his gospel songs, accompanying himself on his guitar. His jovial quips also add to the happy atmosphere.
Several church members are usually also in attendance in addition to residents of Southwind Assisted Living.
First Baptist Church is located at 228 E. Fourth St. and the office can be reached at 783-0441.
