Over 250 cars lined up for The Lily Missionary Baptist Church 4th Annual Birthday Giveaway on December 21, 2024.. Pastor JL Hines turned 63 years of age and instead of receiving gifts, he organized the giveaway and each car (each family) received an envelope containing $63 in cash, as well as a hot meal and household items as they passed thru.(see pg 8) (Above) Lynard Oliver hands out cash making Christmas more pleasant for many in 2024
“This event was exhausting, but, at the same time, a great blessing. As God said in Acts 20:35 it’s better to give than to receive. We were blessed to give to so many. God supplied the needs of others through many who partnered with us in the community. Additionally Herbalife was a tremendous supporter as they have been from the first celebration. We are so grateful for their generosity and support. The weather was frigid, but there was warmth in the hearts of many.”-Pastor James L. Hines
