Folks of all ages attended Vacation Bible School at Clarksbury Methodist last week.  Children enjoyed the rain machine and the campfire chats of ways to face fears and new challenges. The adults had Bible study and fellowship and everyone enjoyed a meal and snacks. Average attendance each night was about 60.

The youth of Piney Grove AME Zion Church attended Donald Gray’s Summer Youth Theater Acting Camp  at the RA Clement Center in Cleveland. They enjoyed the acting skills taught by Mr. Gray. Youth attending the camp gave a presentation using their new skills at the Cornerstone Baptist of Cleveland that Friday night.  Many area folks, including family and friends of the Piney Grove youth, attended.

Society Baptist continues to participate in the “NC Serves” state-wide missions’ program of the N.C.
