SPECIAL GUESTS

Larry and Ethel Wynn - Cruise Chaplain
You can't really claim Dacula as home if you don't know Larry Wynn. As pastor of Hebron Baptist Church for decades, he has had more influence in the lives of Dacula folks (and thousands more) than just about anyone. And to know him, is to love him. And his better half, Ethel is a friend to so many - having served in education in the area for years, they will make the Dacula Cruise a MUST ATTEND event. (PS: They're HUGE cruise fanatics too!)
