Souvenir Books
During the fall of 1959, a few enterprising people decided that they wanted to build a church. Spring of the following year, the doors of New Friendship Free Will Baptist Church were opened. The church is exciting about celebrating its 50th anniversary. One way the church plans to celebrate, and hope that the community and area businesses will help, is by publishing a souvenir book. You may contribute to this worthwhile endeavor by placing an ad in our souvenir book by means of a donation. For more information please call the Rev. James E.
