Shakertown Baptist Church


[Danette & Riverson with members of Shakertown Baptist Chuch - who were there when Dan was pastor; Britney - one of the last people Dan baptized]

This was such a special time for all of us - returning to the first church where our dear friend and pastor, Dan Kong started his ministry. Before each performance, we would gather to pray. When Gay got to the part about how special this performance was due to Dan's hand in this church, she had a catch in her throat and we all thought we'd start crying and have to redo our makeup! This was a wonderful evening, starting with a church wide potluck where Danette caught up with old family friends, to the program where members of the church when Dan was there were recognized, and ending with more visits from old friends. Everyone was so happy to see Danette and Riverson!
