First Baptist Church - choir/handbells/VBS - I was saved when I was 11. I went with Fancelle and Leonard to pick up Patricia at church camp. It was a service under a tent. I dedicated my life to Christ and professed my faith a few weeks later at the First Baptist Church in Vernon, Texas. I was baptized a month later.
