Since 1994, Jeff & Heather Setzer have served churches across America conducting summer vacation Bible schools. In 1997, they began to understand how critical the foundational doctrine of creation is to an individual’s view of themselves, their family, and of society as a whole.

In 2000, they introduced their first creation theme, Dino Might. Since then, they have produced four more themes: Mountain Mysteries, Secrets of the Sea, Wilderness Wonders, and Jungle Tales.

In addition, they conduct area conferences and special Sundays, provide creation resources, minister in music, assist in revival meetings, and serve in a variety of ways assisting families and local churches.

February 1, 1961  -  May 29, 2024

Logan James Spencer
7/17/90 – 2/13/24 (33 years old)
Savannah, GA
Logan James Spencer, born on July 17, 1990, in Wyandotte, MI, passed away on February 13, 2024, in Savannah, GA at the age of 33. He was a cherished member of various communities. From his upbringing in New Bern, NC to his impactful presence in Savannah, Logan left a lasting impression.
He attended his grandfather's church school, Calvary Baptist, with his sisters and cousins from kindergarten through high school graduation. An avid sports fan, he played soccer and basketball – contributing to a national NCCSAA championship his senior year – and he was one of the first fans of the Savannah Bananas, with his daughter Sparrow becoming the very first Banana Baby. You could pick him out of the crowd due to his iconic hat.
His passion for service led him to mission trips to Africa and Haiti after high school, marking the start of his meaningful community work. Logan was deeply involved in many organizations:
• Free Masons
• Alee Shrine
• Order of Ashlars (founder)
• Order of Quetzalcoatl Tomochichi 1733 (secretary, Tlacuilo)
• Tybee Island Lodge 762 F2 AM (secretary from 2017 – 2021)
• Alee Pirate Unit (secretary, December 2018 – December 2023)
• Savannah Banana host family since 2017
• Georgia Basic Law Enforcement Training Course (June 2019)
• SWAT Team Member/K9 Handler
• Corporal – Chatham County Sheriff
• Police Emerald Society of Southeast Georgia
• Charter member of the Alee Anglers
• From Shawn Young, the Helmsman of the order "Logan was the first pirate to be nominated by the public to be selected for membership to the Order of Leviathan"
• Co-Founder of the Scalawags
Always interested in law, Logan was involved in teen court in high school where he won the honor of top defense lawyer two years in a row in state competitions. He was friends with the judges, mayor and law enforcement in his hometown from a young age. This interest led to joining law enforcement as an adult. He was part of the graduating class BLTEC 317. His true desire however was always to be a pirate and lamented that he was born 200 years too late. He adored his family, friends, travel, adventure, all things pirate related and back scratches.
Logan is preceded in death by his grandparents, Bill & Arlie Wingard and Jim & Marilyn Spencer and his uncles, Billy Wingard and Jerry Towne, aunts, Kathy Wilson and Doris Williams.
His legacy lives on through his children, Sparrow Annie and Ashton James, who were the greatest joys of his life. He was an amazing father, son and friend. He is survived by his parents, Jimë & Patti Spencer; his sisters, Jordan Spencer and Megan (Sullie) Sullivan, his precious puppy, Lola; former wife and mother of his children, Caroline Spencer; as well as his many loving extended family members and friends. His memory is honored by those who knew and cherished him.
Fair winds and following seas. Until we meet again.

Mrs. Arlie Wingard went to be with the Lord on March 15, 2022. She was born to Charlie Raymond Cartwright and Mary (Molly) Stevenson at home in Weeksville, NC.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings Charlie, Bob, Frank, Alice, and Anne, and her husband of 65 years, Bill Wingard.

She is survived by her son: Billy Wingard, Jr (Grace); daughters: Jan Raynor (Tony), Pam Albert and Patti Spencer (Jimë), and honorary daughter, Jeanette Towne; grandchildren: Jennifer Taveras (Willy), Laura Bain (Logan), Amanda Diaz, Jon, Ashley, Jennifer, Andrew (Becca), James and Alyssa Albert, Ryan Raynor, Janna Holaday (Jon), Logan and Jordan Spencer, Megan Sullivan (Sully), Heather Williams (Stephen) and Josh Towne (Angela); great-grandchildren: Marina, Will, Tyson and Taylor Taveras, Ryker and Evelyn Bain, Tyson Raynor, Jaleigh Kinard, Canaan, and Elias McCauley, Sparrow and Ashton Spencer, Lexi Rae Williams, and Caleb and Andrew Towne.

Raised in Elizabeth City, NC, she graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1955.

In addition to her nursing career, she also taught kindergarten at Calvary Baptist Church School for more than 15 years, and toddler Sunday School at Calvary Baptist Church for more than 40 years.

She married her sweetheart and lifelong boyfriend, Bill Wingard, in 1955. She was a crown to her husband, and a blessing to her family, church, students, patients and friends. She exemplified virtue, strength, wisdom and honor in all that she did and was. She loved her family, both those that were born into it, and those that were added to it, and she made sure they all knew it. Everyone was welcome in her home, and her kitchen table was always full of wonderful food, love, and laughter.

While Momma/Grandma/Mrs. Arlie will be dearly missed by her friends and family, we rejoice that she is safely home; welcomed by her precious Lord and reunited with Poppa. We are eternally grateful for the love, prayers and kindness you have blessed our family with over the years, and especially in recent months.
