At 95, Arvon gets an early start on Sunday mornings to make the drive up This week, we celebrate this threesome for 50 years of service from his home on the southside to the church as ushers. That’s of town. 50 years each. So we asked them, Roger can tell you how things have changed over the years. why serve 50 years?
