All Saints Sunday 2008

Posted on November 3rd, 2008

We celebrated All Saints Sunday yesterday in our morning worship service by giving thanks to God for the members of Farmville Baptist Church who have since gone on to be with their Lord.  But we also recognized and gave thanks for those still in our midst who have greatly contributed to the life of Farmville Baptist.  We formally recognized Cecil Yeatts as a new Life Deacon, and we presented five members of the church with our “Good and Faithful Servant” recognition: Jack Austin, Paul Cave, Howard Ferguson, Alma Lewis and Ruth Patteson.  These five individuals have given a combined 300 plus years of service to Farmville Baptist and to Christ’s Kingdom!  We thank God for them!  After the service, the congregation gathered for a covered dish fellowship in honor of these individuals.
