Baptism and Ice Cream Fellowship July 5

Baptism service, July 2007

We're having a believer's baptism service on Sunday, July 5 at 4:oopm for several people who recently received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This is always a wonderful time of worship and fellowship.

Please bring a lawn chair or a blanket to be seated on.
The service will be held in Nixonton on the Little River at the home of Mrs. Annie P. Lowry, 100 Pendleton Lane (turn on Nixonton Loop off of Nixonton Road, just before the "hairpin" turn). We'll also be serving home made ice cream and dessert.

Gardner Hunter "Bruz" Craft (1936-2009)

Dear Salem Baptist family,

I learned this morning of the passing of Gardner "Bruz" Craft, who passed away last night at Albemarle hospital. He was a 30 year veteran of the USCG and instructor at the ATTC at Station Elizabeth City. He was 72 years old and suffered from complications of leukemia. The graveside service will be held on Sunday at 3:00PM at Westlawn Cemetery with full military honors. Our hearts go out to his wife Betty and sons Eric and Aaron and daughter Heather and their families. Bruz and Betty have been members of Salem since the 1980s and recently returned to live in this area after living in Florida.
