The amazing ladies of Peace Class

In 1988 Shiloh Christian School in Sierra Vista had its largest graduating class ever.  The 25 students had mostly been together since elementary school, and had forged strong brother-sister bonds.  Known as Peace Class, this may have been one of the most talented groups of young people I have ever taught.  In March of this year, five of the Peace Class sisters reunited for the wedding of Angela Tumpkin, who was Head Girl in her senior year.  

From left to right, they are Tamra Fowler, the sister of the groom (not a Peace Classer), Angela Tumpkin, Tiffany Taylor, Sabrina Gidley, and Pamela Hoston.  These talented ladies have served the Lord in children's ministry, music ministry, nursing, school administration, church administration, audio-visual ministry, sacred dance, short term missions, and elementary. secondary, and post-secondary teaching.  Three of them are now raising their own covenant children.

May the Lord continue to bless the adventures He has set them on!

  1. Woo-hoo! The gorgeous one in the blue dress is my bride! Thank you for posting this Sam. It is amazing (in this day-and-age) that from a class of 25 there are two couples that have been married for 20+ years each! (Both are represented in the picture above.) Two others married fellow alum from other classes! Your wonderful influence on us is beyond my ability to put into words Dr. A.

  2. You really were such an amazing influence on us. There are so many things that we have taken to heart and poured back out to others and our own children. Of everything I have done in my life, I still regard SCS as one of the most important learning times. They were amazing! Lots of love - George (TLT aka TLB)
