On May 4, Pete Kunkle, senior pastor of The Crossing Church, received The Order of the Long Leaf Pine at a Community Celebration. The award was presented to him by Representative Donny Lambeth. Since the award was created in 1963, it has been presented to honor persons who have a proven record of service to the State of North Carolina or some other special achievement, and to others as a gesture of friendship and good will. Pete was being recognized for his 45+ years of ministry with most of those years of ministry in Kernersville. www.kernersvillenews.com/pete-kunkle-…g-leaf-pine/
