On this Christmas Day we remember this beautiful little church’s history. We remember the founders, most of whom began life enslaved. We recognize the effort required to build the church. In the coming year we will hopefully be able to gather together to continue our preservation efforts, more foundation work, painting etc. We have an obligation to continue it’s legacy! I hope you all can join us in this effort. Peace and Joy to you all.

I want to thank the volunteers who helped us install a French drain around the church this weekend. We have a little bit of cleanup left which we will be finished when the weather cooperates. Thanks to Charlotte for bringing so many friends to help. Thanks to Anthony, who came from Manassas and did all the grunt work. Anthony, I never received your text message please reach out to me here. Thanks Steve
