    <![CDATA[The Forest Hills Baptist Church 2024 Fair Ministry was back at the Wilson County Fair this year, providing worship time and hygiene bags as well as breakfast each morning for fair workers, staff and other visitors. N.C. Baptists on Mission once again provided a laundry unit, according to Associate Pastor and Music Minister Chris Bridgers. Bridgers said fair workers said the laundry service was much appreciated, especially after the rainy, muddy conditions. “Those who have been here before say that they all look forward to their time in Wilson because they know how well they will be taken care of during their week here,” Bridges said.

    <![CDATA[In recognition of the longtime partnership between Hornes Methodist Church and Silver Lake Volunteer Fire Department, the church presented the fire department with a s $1,000 check to support the department’s ongoing efforts in the community. Phillip D. Batts, Silver Lake Volunteer Fire Department chief, left, receives the check from Betsy B. Davis, Hornes Methodist Church finance chairman and SLVFD treasurer. The fire department was founded in 1961, and over the years, many members of Hornes Church have served the department as members, officers and board members. The church recently sponsored its third Back to School Bash to provide free school supplies to kids in the community. The fire department was one of the favorite participants, displaying a fire truck and distributing fire safety materials. Contributed photo]]>
