Deacon James Brinson one of the unsung heroes at First Baptist is one of our long time members. Deacon Brinson is a strong supporter of the church and always offers an encouraging word to everyone.

Mother Janie Lowe is another of our unsung heroes. Never looking for any special recognition, but always willing to help in any way that she can. She too, is an unsung hero.

Rev. Thomas gives the two honorees reasons why he considers the two unsung heroes. They are selfless in there efforts at First Baptist and we appreciate all that they do.

SIS. PATRICE FIELDS

CHAIRMAN

The Annual Birthmonth Rally is a program to raise money for the building fund of the church. This program has been in existence so long, no one remembers when it started.

Each month has a captain. Each month tries to out do the other, but September always wins. It is a lot of fun.

This is a program to raise money for the less fortunate for Christmas. $1875 was raised and will go to three families for Christmas. All proceeds go to the families.
