One of the unique things about our church is the 'one of a kind' sense of humor that Pastor and Bev have brought to us. With that in mind, it was decided that the celebration should be a 'roast' with a Mickey Mouse/Pirate theme. Pastor loves Mickey Mouse and Bev is crazy over pirate paraphernalia,  especially pink pirate items. Several speakers shared their thoughts about Pastor and Bev through the years and it was hilarious.

One special guest was Mickey Mouse. Mickey acknowledged Pastor's faithful support of Mickey and crew and congratulated Pastor on his 25 years at BSBT. A list of speakers included:
Wes (Biker dude) Hanson
Debbie (Dancing Queen) Hanson
Charline (Been sawed off for 25 years) Hampson
Bob (The Fisherman) Newell
Becky (PK) Steiner
Patrick (The Son-In-Law) Steiner
Jack (Say Cheese!) Vaught
Christy (Another slide please) Vaught
Jim (I lost the cheese out of my sandwich!) Smith
Margaret (I can name that tune) Smith
 

Key note speaker was Sharon Bryant. Having been at BSBT for nearly 25 years, she knows where all the 'bodies are buried'. Recalling many memorable events, Sharon gave items to go with each event and put them in a two special containers, a toolbox for Pastor and a black and pink pirate bag for Bev. One very special reminder was a toy chainsaw that Pastor can use when he is sawing off that limb under us.

Also awarded that night was a special trophy that read "Twenty-five years and still kicking....'us'. Thanks for giving your lives to the Lord", and a scrapbook with twenty-five years of memories from the church. Patrick and Becky Steiner also presented Pastor and Bev with a six day all expense paid trip to Cancun.

A special thanks go out to all the people who made Saturday night, Sept 6 a huge success.
