“Today is my 21st anniversary
and it seems to have gone by so fast. I’m very blessed. I
have an awesome wife and team. After 21 years, we’re still
working with our sleeves rolled up. I thank God for my wife,
my family and this church family,” said Brock, who is also
president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance.
The Sunday, June 8, 2014
service began at 4:00 p.m. and included special guests and
local dignitaries, including Rev. Tellis Chapman, pastor of
Galilee Baptist Church. The service opened with spirited
praise and worship, immediately followed by the entrance of
the honorees escorted by Mt. Nebo youth. Master of Ceremony
Deacon Alan Crawford, Sr. welcomed guests and the youth
ministry presented a dance celebration.
“Rev. Brock is a civic leader
and more than just a pastor. We’ve collaborated on issues
and cases that are relevant to this Toledo community,”
explained Judge Dean Mandros.
Mt. Nebo’s music ministry
presented selections, while several Mt. Nebo ministries
delivered presentations including Chris Byrd and music
ministry. Bro. Sim Byrd officially welcomed guests, Galilee
Baptist Church’s choir presented a selection, and guest
pastor Rev. Chapman delivered the message. The service
closed with remarks delivered by First Lady Brock and Rev.
Brock.
