Thankfully, this project has been completed. Here are some pictures of the process.

The Return of Ebenezer

After almost four months of quarantine, messages on Facebook Live, prayer meetings via Zoom, the Ebenezer Baptist Church had its first in-person service this Sunday. And, despite the ubiquitous masks and hand sanitizer, it was glorious. Here are some pictures. We appreciate your prayers as we,…
