Cowboy Church Service 
Sunday May 18th
10:00 am Stetson Suite with Rev. Coy Huffman

The Reverend Coy Huffman, a tough-as-lumber looking cowboy who may have actually stepped from the pages of a Louis L’Amour novel, will begin his sermon, one of the inspirational sort, with a prayer of thanks.  Less devout riders on horseback will form a wild west background as they meander around the ring.

Cowboy Church is a nondenominational service open to all. It will be held at the Stetson Suite at the Cloverdale Rodeo Fairgrounds.
