Surprise!

Third Sunday at Cross of Calvary Baptist Church:

James had no idea Cross of Calvary was planning a "Surprise Appreciation" for him after his sermon... He was completely caught off guard. He saw a few family members arrive but thought that I had called and invited them to come and support him. He got a bit emotional as Mia sang before his sermon and even more emotional as church members - one by one- paid tribute to him.

It was such a great day!

The food was catered by one of the families in the church and it was both delicious and beautiful... Here are a few pictures... enjoy

Update: Person In Custody In Connection With Madison County Murder
Victim died at the scene, was husband and father, deacon at church

WHNT NEWS 19 Staff Reports Staff Writer

MADISON COUNTY, AL - The Madison County Sheriff's Department has a person in custody in connection with a shooting that happened early Wednesday morning. The victim, George Woodard, was shot in the head in his driveway. He died there.

Woodard's home is at the corner of Debbie Boulevard and Naugher Road, just off Jordan Road. He was a supervisor at the Toyota plant in Huntsville, and was a deacon at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church.

"I have to forgive whoever did this to my brother, because he was in choir rehearsal last night and he did the closing prayer, and we were very close, and he's an all-around Christian," said Sheila Woodard. "He was a person you would see the glory of God on."

Woodard's wife and one of their three children were at home at the time of the shooting. His sister says they all have a tough road ahead.

"I'm going to miss my brother, because he was my rock," said Woodard.
