Andre Jones Retirement Ceremony

Our very dear brother, Andre Jones invited us to his retirement ceremony last week. It was neat. Andre has served in the Navy for 27 years! He is one Christian full of life and joy for Jesus- both in our church and in the Navy- what an awesome testimony he has.

Here's a picture of all the Navy Chiefs getting together for a photo. Becoming a Chief Petty Officer is one of the greatest achievements of an enlisted sailor in the Navy.
Here we are with Tom Ruiz, Andre Jones, Rick Barnett, Glenn Phipps and Michael Marks.
Here Andre is about to receive his US flag as part of his retirement.
It was pretty cool being there. There were a number of Christians there. Here on stage, the Major is a Christian, and the Master Chief standing with Andre is our very own Sherman Boss! He just broke his ribs in a bike accident- but that guy's the bionic man. God protected him.
