What a wonderful day of rejoicing in God’s house yesterday as we celebrated the grand reopening of Langston Baptist Church! We had a really good crowd, and the vigorous singing of the old hymns of the faith rang out loudly. We felt God’s Holy Spirit in a powerful way, and all praise and glory goes to the Lord Jesus Christ. The meal following was excellent, and many stayed and fellowshipped long after the dinner. It was a day that will remain etched in our memories. God is so good.

Luke Takes the Oath of Office!

by

Our family had the honor of being a part of Luke’s swearing in as a Laurens County councilman!  God is so good!

In Luke’s words:

Today, I took a solemn oath and was officially sworn into office. Having my family surround me was an incredible blessing! The moment was so surreal and made me realize how privileged and honored I am to have this opportunity to serve and represent the great people of Laurens County.

After some research and inquiry, we believe that at 23 years old, I am likely the youngest person to ever be elected to public office in Laurens County history. This achievement is not about me, but rather how the Lord has directed my steps this past year. He is the one to whom I give all the praise, glory, and honor!

As I serve my four-year term, I will always represent the PEOPLE. I will always strive to do what’s right, and not just what is socially attractive. I vow to defend the Constitution and preserve Liberty for this generation and the ones that will follow. God will be my guide, and Freedom will be my voice!

To our county, state, & nation – Let Freedom Ring!

– Councilman Luke Rankin

We had a great time at your New Year’s Eve service!  Thank you for inviting us to sing and play along with Brothers 5.  They were really good!  We weren’t expecting a meal afterwards—and it REALLY hit the spot!  You were so friendly to our family, and we loved the fun atmosphere.  We will pray for your pastor, Fred Quindley, and his wife, Patsy, as they start a new chapter of their lives.  We could tell they are very loved by your congregation.
