Seriously, I wish Salina KS. wasn't so far away. I'd love to hear you preach and have some good ol fellowship after church.
I''d even shave my stache and chin, hide my ring and wear a black suit, replete with long sleeved white shirt and tie ( or no tie if you are agin silk necklaces on men)
Holler at me if ya ever get close to Illinois or Iowa.

Freebie,
You would not have had to bring out the black suit. Elder Epley is from the liberal wing of the AMF. I was at an AMF conference here in Nashville about four years ago and he was the ONLY AMF preacher not wearing a black suit. He had on a brown one. Lib.

I think Eld. Epley is no longer with the AMF.
I think he is now independent.
We all love to kid him and get on his case but I think he is really highly respected here whether we agree with him on some things or not.

And I respect Bro. Epley for being a part of this site. Most ultra-conservatives wouldn't be caught dead here.

Bro Epley is not afraid to stand up for what he believes. He's like a tootsie pop...hard on the outside but soft on the inside.

Steve Epley is a class act; brown suit or bib overalls. He makes it all look good.

At Salina I wore my black suit with a solid black tie just in case I needed to butcher any hogs.  However I didn't see any so I fed the sheep.

See... I must need to read the Bible more...
I remember the command to feed His sheep.... I totally missed the command to butcher the hogs.
