MOULTRIE — Richard Edwards of Colony Bank entertained the Golden Harvest Group of Calvary Baptist Church at their May meeting held May 21.
Edwards sang “Somebody is Praying,” “If that isn’t Love,” and by special requests “The Anchor Holds” and “Beulah Land.”
Lois Sinclair called the meeting to order and thanked everyone for coming. It being Sinclair’s birthday, she was presented with a birthday cake. Julian McCorkle gave thanks for the wonderful covered dish meal enjoyed by all.
After the meal, Sinclair called the meeting back to order. She thanked Shirley Griner and Jeanette Dochterman for the table decorations.
Horace Thompson gave the devotion for the group. His scripture was from the 12th chapter of Judges and he commented that we should all think before we speak especially to God when we are praying to Him and making promises to God.
Florene Horsley, Gladys Smith and Lois Sinclair celebrated birthdays during the month of May. The door prizes were won by Anne Castleberry, Julian McCorkle and Janie Lott.
