Rev. Huyck's sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday was on bearing and sharing burdens. It was a good message and I thought an extra good sermon. We had a good crowd, and a fellowship meal was held after the service. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hall placed a pretty arrangement of summer flowers in the sanctuary. Mrs. Mona Hall is our homebound person of the month at Ebenezer. Her address is 184 Pine Lane (Washington Manor), Washington. Send her a card and visit her if you can. Happy birthday to Thomas Charping, Lillie Crawford, Dot Shank, Vonnie Tucker, Inez Hall, and Linda Smith this week. Joe Shank, Miss Dot's son, shares the same birthday with his mother.
