We are so thankful that the Free Will Baptist Home Missions Heritage Tour stopped by on Sunday, September 1. For Sunday School, Pastor Henry Horne from Union Chapel Free Will Baptist Church in Chocowinity, NC, blessed us with a message.  After that, Pastor Dann Patrick from Faith Free Will Baptist Church in Goldsboro, NC, delivered the Worship Hour sermon. Praise the Lord, one lady for whom we had been praying accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior, asking Him to forgive her sins! Quite a few local visitors also joined us!! What a great day!
To top it all off, we went into the fellowship hall for a Seafood Fest! Fresh clams, called “Steamahs,” Clam “Chowdah,” Baked Stuffed Quahogs, called “Stuffies,” and Baked Stuffed Fluke (flounder) were the star players in this event. We also had some Italian food and great desserts. Yum!  See more pictures of this and other events by clicking here.  Be sure to keep scrolling down to see other events!

Our church folks so enjoyed visiting with everyone from the Heritage Tour.  It is great when other Free Will Baptists from around the country can come to visit.  Thank you so much for being a blessing to Beacon!  Come back anytime!

It was so nice to get to see Pastor & Mrs. Dann Patrick again!  They are from Christy’s childhood church, Faith Free Will Baptist Church in Goldsboro, NC.  He also married Bill & Christy.  What a wonderful treat that they came with the Heritage Tour! Christy’s parents, Ed & Mary Edmonds, pictured left, also came for a visit.  It was wonderful to take them on a tour of the church and spend time with them.  We are so thankful that they could come up!  It was such a privilege to give everyone from the Home Missions Office a tour of the church in person!  What a blessing!
