Message from Paster Newkirk

Wow!  What a great weekend. Thanks for all who participated in either the wall raising work day, the wall-raising ceremony, the Sunday worship or Monday's youth day.  All were powerful events. THANK YOU! It was a marvelous kick-off to this year's build and very inspiring. What a powerful observance of MLK weekend.Following is the note from Paster Newkirk who read the scripture at Sunday's worship service. That surely was a meaningful event.  Deacon Douglas is the Habitat coordinator for the their church and is doing an amazing job. 

"Thank you Brother Rick!  We are elated to be a part of such a noble and worthy effort.  I hope to join you on March 3^rd for a short while.  Thursday is sermon day for me, and it’s an “all day” event. 

I saw some pictures taken by Whitney Battle, from Oak City Baptist Church, from Saturday’s kickoff event.  We had three people there for most of the day, and Deacon Douglas was there for the wall raising.  I am so proud of our church family and volunteers for Baptist Build.  Sunday’s program was electric and dynamic.  Two great preachers!

Thanks for your leadership!  Great things are happening.  God must be smiling!

Blessings,

William T. Newkirk"
