Homecoming

Today was Homecoming at Oakdale. It was great to go "home" and visit. Oakdale Baptist Church really holds special memories for me and my family. I grew up there and learned a great deal. As I reflect back, I can see how God placed each one of my Sunday School teachers, Acteen leaders, and Youth leaders in my life and prepared me for who I am today.

As I sat there with my family I thought back to the day, seventeen years ago, Mr. Porter married my best friend and I. He also dedicated and baptized Taylor. This spiritual led man and his precious wife, Mrs. Rosa, will always have a special place in our family's heart.

I am now a Sunday School teacher and an Acteens leader/helper at a great church, West Edgecombe Baptist Church. I don't know that I would be any of the above had I not had the knowledge I needed about Jesus Christ and the love of a church family. I thank God today for Oakdale Baptist Church and pray that this church will continue to be a blessing to others as it has always been for me and my family.
