They were married in 1939 in Borger, Texas. Etch worked for Phillips Refinery Co. for 29 years before “retiring” a Legacy and becoming a successful oil and gas producer for the next 20 years. Idabel was a school teacher and enjoyed continuing to teach women’s Bible classes even after she retired. Although they never had children of their own, the Etchieson’s loved children, especially those in need. After moving to Dallas in 1982, the Etchiesons attended Preston Road Church of Christ and later Prestoncrest Church of Christ where they learned about Medina Children’s Home. Etch passed away on November 18, 2004. Idabel passed away on April 16, 2007. Leaving a legacy of Christian service to needy children, William “Etch” and the Etchiesons made a substantial estate gift to Medina Children’s Idabel Etchieson Home. Their gift will extend beyond their lifetime by making an im- pact on the lives of children in need for years to come. We are grate- ful to the Etchiesons for their generosity and heart for serving others. 15 Reaching Generations - Summer 2010 Spring Creek Blesses Together Program Families The Spring Creek Church of Christ blessed 25 Arms of Hope Moms with a special retreat and their 37 kids to a Va- cation Bible School. The Mom’s retreat talked about God’s ABC’s – that God is Able, God is Big, and God is Close. The VBS centered around “Big Faith Bay”. The kids were treated to puppet shows, games, crafts, cookies and singing. The families then were served a wonderful lunch and the entire day was filled with teaching, laughter and a lot of God’s love. Thank you to the 37 volunteers from Spring Creek and especially Casandra Martin and Molly Bedrich for organiz- ing such an incredible event.
