• We had a nice Sunday at Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday. We were down in attendance but the Lord still blessed us. Dr. Dupre's message to the children was "Powers to Show." The adult sermon was "Resurrection Appearances" taken from the books of Job and Mark. Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Shelton placed flowers in the church. After the service we had a called business meeting. All went well. If you do not have a church home, come out and visit with us.
