Baptist History Tour 2008The 2007 tour, once again, proved to be a blessing. Forty-six men gathered at the Lehigh Valley Baptist Church in Emmaus, Pennsylvania the morning of May 7th for the five day trip. We enjoyed the best of fellowship and preaching that week while visiting many forgotten Baptist sites. During the tour, the Baptist History Preservation Society unveiled two new memorial markers. The first marker was placed at the Pennepack Baptist Church in Philadelphia. Organized in 1688, Pennepack is the oldest Baptist Church in Pennsylvania. The second marker was placed at the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York, in honor of Robert Lowry. A Baptist pastor, Lowry is best known for composing such hymns as Shall We Gather at the River and Nothing But the Blood of Jesus. These markers were numbers twelve and thirteen placed by the Society. Thanks to all those who helped with these projects. The Lord willing, our next Baptist History Tour will be May 5th - 9th, 2008. Please make plans now to attend. Contact information is provided below. Jesus Loves You! Pastor Faggart
