On Sunday, November 8, in recognition of Veterans Day, Greater Trinity Baptist Church, located at 3146 Oceanview Blvd., honored local service members who have served in our armed forces.
The veterans were recognized, appreciated and applauded by the GTBC. Honored guests received well deserved certificates of appreciation for their service to the country.
The event featured excellent musical renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” performed by Judith Malone and a welcome by Dr. Donna Dudley and guest speaker Reverend Gerald Brown on why we were there celebrating the vets. An inspiring and uplifting exhortation came from Reverend Clyde E. Gaines II.
The very friendly congregation made sure their guests were welcome and felt at home, encouraging all visitors to come back and worship with Greater Trinity.
“I think this was a very nice show of support for us veterans—both those who are here today and those who made the ultimate sacrifice with their lives,” shared retired Marine Vietnam veteran Les Kewn. “I thank the Church very much.”
