The Matador church of Christ was excited to host a retirement celebration in honor of Mike Crowley. Mike is celebrating his 50th year as a Gospel preacher and his retirement after 30 years as the pulpit minister of the church that meets at Matador.

A large crowd gathered on Sunday, December 1, for worship and fellowship to celebrate his life of ministry. Friends and family that could make the trip enjoyed time together and a meal while many others that could not come, sent letters, videos and messages of support and love. Mike’s family presented a video montage featuring family history and photos of the various places that Mike and Judy had lived and worked as well as anecdotes and memories from over the years. Following the presentation, a special cake was served and a time of visiting took place.

Mike Crowley, Jr. hosted the presentation which featured the video history of Mike’s career. The presentation can be viewed below.

Come prepared to hear one of the best Gospel sermons you’ve ever had the privilege to witness. Brother Fred Hall has a special way of opening up the scriptures, touching hearts and stimulating thoughts. Check out this excerpt from one of his past sermons.

Fred will be speaking at the Matador Church of Christ in Matador Texas starting tomorrow, Sunday, September 30. The presentation begins at 10:00 am with the topic, “Confidence in God’s Word” and again at 11:00 am with, “Confidence in Christ’s Work at Calvary”. Following these messages we invite you to be our guest for our famous potluck luncheon, provided by the ladies of the Matador church. Everyone is welcome.
