Fire Department with a
special service and dinner.
Five men and two women
of the 12 member team

vice recognition and
fellowship dinner.
Scripture states in John
15:13, “Greater love hath
no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for
his friends.” The volunteer
firemen and women do just
that and normally go
without recognition or even
a thank you. Freedom Hill
Baptist Church wanted to
let the team know they are
needed, appreciated and
supported financially and
in prayer. A love offering
was taken and given to the
fire department to aid in
present expenses.
