He is currently on the planning board of the Breaking Bread for Jesus Soup Kitchen Ministry that is coming to the Wellford Community.  

His motto and attitude is to experience every day the Joy of His Salvation and to be happy in Jesus. Continually realizing that the saving of Souls is serious as that is what his ministry and his life is all about. Regardless of what great things can be said about a man, the thing that matters is what God knows about him as He will have the Final Say! Only what we do to HIS glory and honor will last.  

If there is any honor and if there be any praise it belongs to God! Reverend Bruton feels very thankful to be an instrument in His service.  

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord: and ourselves Your servants for Jesus’ Sake. 

II Corinthians 4:5
