May Milestones and Music

Many pastors barely survive five years at a church.  It is a blessing to last 7 or 8 years.

Reverend Evans White has occupied the pulpit of Providence Baptist Church in Aylett for 10 years now.  He is a knowledgable orator, skilled organizer, and man after God’s heart.  Rev. White has served as the Secretary and Moderator of the Pamunkey Baptist Association and is currently active in several committees in the community. We thank the Lord for his leadership and friendship on this Christian journey.

And what is the Christian journey without a song?  Music was the focus of the Baptist General Convention Area A-2 closing service.  Reverend Robert Brown of St. Paul Baptist Church in Aylett gave an inspiring and informative talk on the Gospel music tradition in the African-American church.  Youth choirs from Mt. Nebo Baptist in West Point and Manquin’s Rock Spring Baptist sang in the more up tempo popular style.  The James H. Carter Men’s Chorus of Trinity gave more traditional spiritual offerings.

As you continue your walk of faith, celebrate the milestones God allows you to reach with a song in your heart.
