Parker's Eagle Court of Honor

On Saturday we celebrated Parker's Eagle Scout Court of Honor in the Family Life Center at the church. He earned it in June of 2020 officially, finishing up his project at camp just before Covid struck in March of 2020. We were so grateful for the opportunity to gather together with family, friends and church members to mark this special occasion. And we are so so grateful for all of the scout leaders over the years from Pack 112 and Troop 112 with Druid Hills in Ocala and Troop 143 here at Community who have made such an investment in Parker throughout his Scouting Trail to Eagle.

This Eagle statue was a handmade gift from Grandmommy

Grandmommy made these centerpieces using pieces and they have been used at family Eagle ceremonies for Daryl, Daniel and Micah as well. 


These adorable Eagle cookies were made by Kim Stumbo from our church. Aren't they precious? 

Family came up early to help us set everything up. So grateful for them.

My Uncle Sparky and his partner Cathy - it was our first time to meet Cathy and she is lovely! 

So many beautiful memories and gifts here!
