Larry & Debbie Sykes were at our first "real" church as a married couple in Ministry. Matthew took a part time youth pastor job at Lake Forest Baptist Church in Walls, MS while he was in seminary. We loved the church and our friends there.
We keep up with some of our friends there, mostly through Christmas cards and Facebook, but as everyone knows, it's hard to keep up.
Matthew called Debbie and asked if she would come and speak to our Ladies Minitry at our Spring Luncheon. Of course she was happy to do it. We had a crazy weekend ourselves, but we were able to meet them for breakfast with the kids prior to the luncheon. As with so many special friends in our lives, even though it's been YEARS since we've seen them, everything picks right up like it's just been weeks. It's just like family.
Larry & Debbie were huge influences in our young married and ministry lives. We thank God for them and I just wanted to post this picture of the four of us together.
