O’Brien honored for 40 years of service
Denbeau Heights Christian Church in West Brownsville recently honored the Rev. Roland M. O’Brien for 40 years of service. Current members hosted a picnic with friends and former members returning to fellowship. Approximately 40 people attended and honored O’Brien with cards and gifts.
O’Brien, 84, has been faithful in his weekly Sunday messages, Bible studies and conducting weddings and funerals at the Denbeau Heights Christian, the Keisterville Union Church and the Cherry Tree Nursing Home.
He and his wife, Betty, have been married for 45 years and raised two sons, Roland Jr. and Danny. They have all been faithful to the church in helping O’Brien in the services. Roland and Betty O’Brien, along with their church duties, held secular jobs and never depended on the small churches for their livelihood.
