 Virgie Baptist Church is preparing for their 50th anniversary celebration this year. Members of the church and the surrounding community are more than excited to gather for three days of music, worship, and good times. Virgie Baptist pastor Thomas Reed gives us more details. We're thankful to God, first of all, for the ministers and those who have come alongside of us for the last 50 years to help us get us where we are today. Especially, we thank God for Grace Baptist Church in Shelby, Anna. We know that we're a mission of Grace Baptist Church when we're thankful for those who have helped contribute towards this effort and we're excited. You know, we're excited what God has done, is doing, and going to do in the life of the church. We've been meeting for the past year, planning and little logistical work and praying through that and how the Lord would want to see this three-day celebration.

The church's 50th anniversary was recognized in fiscal court on Tuesday, February 20th. Reed says that the church members and their faithfulness have kept the church going all these years. Going to physical court yesterday was exciting, yet we was humbled to be able to accept this acknowledgement from the fiscal court, even Ray Jones as well. It's God's faithfulness, the overall that has been contributing to this effort and working in and through the church, even to the church members and through the preaching and teaching and for the Sun School classes. Every little minute detail of ministry has contributed to this effort. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.
