Ekron Baptist Church honors Blancs’ 40 years of service
On Sept. 15, 2007, Ekron Baptist Church celebrated its 103rd anniversary and homecoming as well as celebrated Pastor Charles Blanc’s 40th year of serving this congregation. The morning service was planned as a surprise to Brother Blanc. The service began with the choir singing a song titled “40 Years Ode to Pastor Charles Blanc.” The words to this song, written by Jimmie Lee Chapman, were a humorous way to describe his 40 years of service to the church and entire community.
