Hi! Hope this finds you and your family doing well, and enjoying the peaceful and comforting grace of our Lord.
On the third weekend of May (May 14, 15, 16), Bethel Primitive Baptist Church (Elder Ronald Lawrence, Pastor) hosted its annual Spring meeting.
The invited ministers were Elder Chris Crouse, pastor of Little Union Primitive Baptist Church in Lithia, Florida, and Elder David Crawford, pastor of Macclenny Primitive Baptist Church in Macclenny, Florida.
Each service was preceded by a song service, led by song leaders, and sung by the congregation “a Capella” (without musical instruments).

Elder David Crawford preached from Matthew 18 on “Patience”
