        Homecoming Celebration on Sunday, July 9, 2017

The morning service attendees included current members, former members, families, friends and visitors.

The morning sermon was preached by Pastor Matthew J. Pearson.

After the morning service the congregation was invited to stay and have dinner in the dining hall.

They were treated to an old fashion country meal that included fried and baked chicken, ham, potato salad, green beans, cake, pie and lots more.

Amon Saunders provided an extra treat. Fried fish that he cooked under the tent outside.

Reverend Philip Lewis, pastor of Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Upperville, Virginia was the preacher for the afternoon service.  He was accompanied by one of his church's choirs and several members.

The choir rendered an array of good ole fashion hymns, the kind that make you feel like you have been to church, for the service.

Reverend Lewis used Luke 4:16-30 for scripture.  His text was "Responding to Grace"

He preached about how Jesus hometown folks praised him in the beginning of this meeting but before the meeting ended, they turned against him.  Why? Well, they didn't like what he was talking about.  (Read the scripture).

Rev Lewis urged the congregation not to put their trust in their deeds and good works, instead put their trust in Jesus and God's grace.

In summary, trust in Jesus and his grace because He can do for you what nobody else can do.

Deaconess Regina Crawley was the worship leader.

Deaconess Shirley Saunders and WBC's cooking ministry prepared and served the meal.
