Pictured here preaching, left to right: Cassandra Lara, Wilson Ryland, and Edward Peñate
Cassandra Lara, Wilson Ryland, and Edward Peñate are the three Corlett Senior Sermon finalists this year. They preached their sermons during NTS chapel services April 4 - 7, 2011. Wilson Ryland was given the Corlett Senior Sermon Award. This privilege includes preaching during graduation weekend.
The late Mr. Eric A. Mabes, a prominent Kansas City Realtor, established the Corlett Senior Sermon Award in the interest of developing an incentive for more effective preaching. He sponsored the award from 1945 to 1966. In 1966, Dr. and Mrs. L. T. Corlett, as a symbol of their continuing interest in the future ministry of the church, assumed the sponsorship of this award. For many years, until the time of his passing in 2009, Mr. Wes Blachly provided the funding to keep this important senior honor highlighted.
