Scripture of the Month

Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’ Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’ Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it. But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.

Habakkuk 2:19-20

  • Clark & Irene Webb

    Email Clark

    Building Maintenance

    Clark retired in Oct. 31, 2001,after 25 years of service for Celanese Chemical Co., in Pampa, Texas. Clark and Irene decided that they were not getting to see enough of their grand children, so they moved to Rockwall and placed membership the same year the new building was dedicated. 

    Clark did not like sitting around the house so he went back to work for Pro Soap for about two years as supervisor of their warehouse,until their son,Scott, talked him into taking the maintenance job at the church building.  Clark likes to hunt, fish, and camp out, none of which Irene enjoys, but it gets Clark out of the house:).  

    They get to play Taxi driver a lot with the grand kids and have made several close friends in the church, which they now consider their home.
