Something for Dads and Sons
Men's Wildlife Supper

Homeschool dads, it's time again for the Community Bible Church Wildlife Supper and this year's guest is going to impact you like never before! Dave Roever was served in the Navy in Vietnam in 1968. In a combat situation he pulled the pin on a phosphorous grenade and was about to throw it when it exploded prematurely. The results were disastrous. Part of his face was blown off; his hands were permanently paralyzed; but the greatest potential danger Dave faced was an emotional one. His girlfriend was waiting for him in America. He had made plans for the future when he was going to be dis-charged from the service. These were just a few of the many things Dave considered as he lay in a hospital bed for months. Discover the miracle God worked in this man. This event is a great opportunity for homeschool dads to fellowship together with other dads and older your older sons.
