Good News tonight! The Crest Hill Cemetery GoFundMe page has officially met its goal of raising $2,046 to complete the fencing around the right side of the cemetery back to the rear boundary line. Stay tuned for any photo updates.

The bad news is that the church and cemetery lot was last surveyed when we completed our dining room back in 2005-2006. The Trustees plan to resurvey the lot to allow for a right-of-way or permanent easement that will be reflected on the new church deed that will be recorded at the courthouse in Warrenton, VA.

We are asking for donations to help pay the cost of the survey and any lawyer's fees. Please stay tuned.

Trustees Rodney Anderson and Teresa (Terri) Anderson will keep us informed as to the true cost of the survey and any fees that may be involved to update the deed records.

Thanks for your continued support of this Church on a Hill. Easter's church.

Hurray! With God’s good grace the Cemetery Fencing is almost complete. It will cost $2046.00 to run the final fence line along Crest Hill Road. We have hired the same company to finish it. We can put $1000 down and raise funds to pay it off in three months. Any donations are appreciated especially if you have loved ones who rest there. I have included some photos of what it looks like now.

Enough said. A picture truly speaks a thousand words.

We are almost ready to open. We repaired the floor and added new carpeting. The roof has been replaced and some of us are still waiting to get our COVID shots completed. Stay tuned.

The village of Crest Hill was alive in my youth because of Trough Hill Baptist Church. Now that I am older at 68 I find solace in the comfort and love within this old church. It sent legions of believers into the world. Many have moved away. Yet, here I stay near where my mother Violet and father Eugene now lie, my brother Winsten too and grandma Elsie and Grandpop Golder Anderson, Great Grands Carah and Chetister and finally Easter Adelaide Nelson who wanted this little church to be built in this little ville so long ago. You did it Grandma Easter. We are so much stronger because of your dream for us. I hope my grandchildren will learn how far God has reached into the many generations that came after women like Easter, and married couples like Louisa and John Williams, Helen Anderson Green and George O'Neil Green, Wister and Nettie Williams, Jack and Pauline Carter, Walter and Anne Franklin, Mary Brown, Moses and Gertrude Lane, Lula and Hugh Nelson, Charles and Charlotte Anderson, Charles and Adeline Grimsley Anderson, Joseph and Amelia Lane, Thornton and Emily Hill, Benjamin and Mary Moore, Benjamin and Mary Anderson Robinson, Henry and Mary Baltimore, Jake and Angeline Baltimore, Alexander and Dolly Ann Russell, The Rectors, Cooks, Corbins, Johnsons, Adams, and so many others have crossed the threshold into our sanctuary. Many now lie in that cemetery next to Trough Hill Baptist Church. It will always hold a special place in my heart even though I may move away to be closer to my own grandkids one day. I pray the doors can withstand the pestilence now upon us. Stand tall little beacon and let your light so shine on all the descendants of Crest Hill no matter where they are!

Trough Hill Baptist Church appeals to our local community for help with a new banner courtesy of member Terri Anderson on 1 October 2020. Thank you Terri for your love and support. Thanks also go out to People's Community Baptist Church in Silver Spring, MD, 2nd National Ketoctan in Front Royal, VA and to the family of Chetister and Lori Anderson of Washington DC for their unwavering support this past week. It has been awesome! We feel so blessed. God is good!

We have completed phase 1 of the floor repair. It has been raised to meet the wall and stabilized with new beams, cement, and a new sub floor. Check out our website soon to see our progress. Thanks to all who supported this mighty little church in Crest Hill with the superlative view. Our testimony will be filled with joy when we open again.

I cannot help but be in prayer each time I visit the sanctuary. These days I am alone when I go to check on the church where I spent my youth. The light through those windows in the morning never fail to uplift and encourage me. Just take a moment to look at this photo. Soak it all in and be encouraged too.
