Citizen of Year: Friends share observations about Hickman
• Said Joel Richardson, pastor Central Baptist Church: “Bette has led the ‘Little Lambs’ Sunday school class for over 20 years. These 4- and 5-year-old children come into the class, and she gives them a lamb. They keep this lamb with them until they graduate from her class. She leads them in ways that they can identify object lessons with scripture using her art. She literally paints the words. She translates the Bible into art so the children can understand the scriptures. Because of her creativity, she easily communicates with the children.”
