Benediction for LiveOak Church

 

I met Camie Minter through LiveOak Moms, when my oldest daughter was about one year old and I was terrified to leave her with anyone. Samantha bonded with Camie, and the first time we attended LiveOak church, Camie held Samantha the entire service while running the children’s ministry in a bounce house.

            Over the years the Minters have carried us. They have provided guidance for our families and our faith. They have walked with us through celebration and tragedy. Let us bless them as they follow God’s call.
