Special program set for April 29

Ask God to bless those who persecute you; yes, ask Him to bless, not to curse. Be happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep, have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Do not think of yourselves as wise. Roman 12:14-16

The people of this community are in sympathy with the Dean family in the death of their loved one, Mrs. Mary Lou Hall Dean, who was funeralized on Saturday, April 14 at Hamilton Chapel CME Church.

Pleasant Grove hosts spring revival

Everyone present enjoyed Easter worship at Hopewell No. 1 Easter Sunday at 10:45 a.m. Devotion was led by the deacons. Attorney Ben Cole led in responsive reading. Deacon Michael Crittle gave the sick report. Beautiful Easter music was provided by the choir. Pastor Leroy James delivered the sermon. Following worship, an Easter program was presented with Sis. Monica Govan, mistress of ceremony. This was followed by an egg hunt on the church lawn.

Pastor James is the evangelist for spring revival at Pleasant Grove this week. We were glad to have our college students and military personnel home for Easter weekend.

Mrs. Laverne Jones and Willie Morris Bowen visited Mrs. W. Beatrice Walton, formerly of Holly Springs, in a nursing home in Memphis March 31, and they were so happy to find her in good spirits.

God bless till next week.
