Full house at Ebenezer Baptist Church honors Rev. Albert Huyck for service
Rev. Huyck began his ministry at Ebenezer in November 1997, following 25 years as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Washington. Angie Strother, who was a member of the committee which recommended him as pastor, presented him an inscribed pewter serving tray from the congregation. She reviewed his transition from First Baptist and the growth of Ebenezer during his term. On behalf of the deacons, Dr. Joe Harris presented the Pastor Emeritus certificate which recognized his distinctive service, reverence and loyalty. James Smith is chairman of the deacons who have recently recommended Dr. Leonard Dupree of Thomson as interim pastor beginning November 5. He has agreed to serve. Rev. Huyck will preach the last sermon of his term on October 29, which event he approached with his most recent sermon, "If I Had But One Sermon to Preach," and fo- cused on John 3:16. His three sons and their families were in the congregation which included many friends from various times in his career.
A covered dish luncheon arranged by church members Pam and Newton Gunter followed the service.
