GREENWOOD, TEXAS - His good friend and assistant superintendent of the school district called him “the face of Greenwood.” His parishioners said they would miss his leadership. After nearly 22 years as senior pastor at Greenwood Baptist Church, Wayman Swopes has decided to retire.
“Most of us have mixed emotions,” parishioner Tony Ham said of Swopes’ retirement. “We’d like for him to stay but we’re happy he’s getting to retire and we’re just really going to miss him.”
The congregation will honor Swopes at the church from 10 a.m. until noon April 25, the day of his retirement. A celebratory lunch at the Midland Center will follow. Both events are open to the public.
