The talented Rev. Kennedy Hampton

As we work to put the finishing touches on the revamped website for the Conference of Churches, our web designer suggested we get a photo of Rev. Kennedy Hampton behind a lecturn looking like the Community Chaplain that he is. Much to our (pleasant) surprise, ee got a little more than we bargained for when Rev. Hampton walked over the the piano and started to play the blues! :)
