Young and Adult Choir Annual Day
The Young & Adult Ministry, including the choir, celebrated its 37th year on Sunday, October 7, 2012 at the church.
The special guest for the service was the Neabsco Baptist Church Ensemble Choir from Woodbridge, VA.
The choir rendered a very good selection of inspiring and soul uplifting songs. The congregation was very lively throughout the presentation.
Their selection of songs included (1) He Reigns Forever, (2) Holy, Holy and (3) How Great Is Our God. The choir, under the direction of Sister Linda Lindsey, had about 22 members present.
The Worship Leader for the service was Brother George K. Davis, a former member of Warner Baptist.
The Young and Adult Ministry was organized in 1974 as the Young Adult Club (YAC). The first president was Michael Fuller and vice-president Ceola Dickson. The original choir had about 20 members. Initially, only church members, ages 19 to 42 years old,could sing in the choir. Subsequently, the name was changed to the Young Adult Ministry and the choir's name was changed to Young and Adult Choir.
Initially, we had about 20 members in the YAC. Most of us sung in the choir. We had a very good music teacher from D. C. (her name is?).
Some of the initial or early members of the YAC were: Michael Fuller, Eddie Dixon and his wife; Mr. Gibbs and his wife; Lloyd and Shirley Saunders; Charles Oliver; Marjorie Davis; Regina Crawley; Charlene Purdy, Herbert Fuller, Jr.; Stephonia (Catheleen) Moore; Grady Bryant, Sr. and others to be named later.
Sister Hattie Turner is the current choir president.
A very good meal was prepared by the Culinary Ministry for the occasion.
