Retired ministers from Oklahoma gathered in Norman Tuesday, September 19 for education, fellowship and encouragement from Regional Minister Rev. Pamela Holt.
First stop was the National Weather Center on the campus of the University of Oklahoma. The guided tour walked the group through the five-story building watching meteorologists checking out radar from across the continental United States. Hurricanes loomed in the Caribbean spreading paths of destruction. The National Weather Service tracks severe storms and shares warnings and information to local Emergency Management Teams to alert the general public of impending danger. The observation area on top of the building presented a bird’s eye view across Oklahoma.
Moving onto Rudy’s BBQ a mile west from the NWC, the group enjoyed lunch and catching up with their fellow retirees. Sharing news of trips, family members and church activities. They moved on to the parlor of First Christian Church, Norman to hear an update of statewide activities and events from Rev. Holt. Pam told the retirees of needs throughout the Region and how they could help. Seventeen retired ministers and five of their spouses participated in the day’s activities.
