Walden Chapel Baptist welcomes new pastor
Members of Walden Chapel Baptist Church have welcomed a new pastor and his wife, Ron and Gail Manly.
Bro, Manly entered the ministry on a full-time basis in 1963 at the age of 21. He has served churches in Morgan, Lawrence, Limestone and Tuscaloosa Counties. God has really blessed Brother Manly in his ministry, especially during his tenure at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, which is just across the way from his new church home. He has a reputation of being a great preacher of the scriptures and a very warm and caring pastor. May God bless Bro. Ron and Gail as they lead the Walden Chapel Church family.
I want to wish my friend, Mildred Wigginton of Hartselle the best of God’s blessings when she has heart surgery at Huntsville Hospital on Dec. 30. I also ask others to add her name to their prayer list.
Special blessings and heartfelt prayers go out to the following military personnel and their families: Aaron Mooney, Dusty Smith, John Hull, all in Afghanistan, John Black, Lance Brown, Anthony Thomas, Matthew Young, Lee Thompson and Brad Wallace, all in Iraq, Derek Jones, Virginia, Jack C. Herbert, Georgia, Jeffrey Green, Ft. Benning, Ga., Robert Green, USS Mason, Josh Fagan, Alaska, Wes Parker, Georgia, Ken Lancaster, home, and Jeremy White, Guam.
If anyone has news about military personnel from the Danviille-Neel area, please contact me at vaughn358@bellsouth.net or on my face book.
I also want to ask everyone to please pray for peace in the coming year and for a safe return of all of our troops.
I want to wish a God-filled and happy New Year to Bro. John D. Bain and his family. Bro. Bain is currently serving as assistant director of Missions for the Morgan Baptist Association, having served in that capacity since 2006. He recently concluded his tenure as pastor of Walden Chapel Baptist Church and is preparing to re-enter full-time pastoral ministry.
Bro. Bain said the two years he was at Walden Chapel were wonderful and God-blessed. He also said the people he worked with there are some of the best people in the world and he will miss serving and worshiping with them.
Brother and Mrs. Bain have a new granddaughter, Addison Elizabeth Buel. Her parents are Charise and Brian Buel of Decatur.
Special belated happy birthday wishes go out this week to Geranda McAbee and Allison Good, both on Dec. 27, Jordan Morgan and Jacob Palmer, both on Dec. 28, and Tucker Boyd and Olivia McCleskey, both on Dec. 29.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to Frances Morgan on Dec. 30 and Emma Wynn on Dec. 31.
