Celebrating 90 Years

 

On Sunday evening, February 19, Exton Community Baptist Church honored its oldest member, Erma Hegarty, whose 90th birthday had occurred two days earlier. The celebration, held in the festively decorated Fellowship Hall, included a hearty episode of "White Elephant" (a gift exchange, of sorts) and plenty of party food. Because Erma has had a lifelong passion for missions, the church decided to participate in "Piglets for Prosperity in Burundi" - a project sponsored by International Ministries. Donations to the project are being contributed to IM in honor of Erma. This gives her much joy, as does reaching the age of 90! She never imagined hitting that milestone, and in Erma's words, "The Lord has been so good to me."
