annual Senior Adult Conference Aug. 2-4 in the Penick Academic Complex (PAC) on the

the same building.
The sessions will feature inspirational leaders such as Buddy Griffin, Christian
humorist, musician and inspirational speaker; Frank Pollard, pastor of First Baptist
Church in Jackson, Miss.; John Phillips, widely known prolific writer; and James Pulliam,
retired minister of music and senior adult coordinator of First Baptist Church in Bolivar,
Tenn.
