“The goal was to do something to honor those special people who have given up so much throughout their lives,” Bishop said. “We have always done things for the kids, like ‘Stomp the Yard’ and other events, but we didn’t always have something for our seniors.

“This is just our way for the ministry to give back and do something special for them.”
