Pastor James L. Hines fulfilled his vision of giving on his birthday, as over 300 residents in their vehicles passed thru several stations at Lily Missionary Baptist Church on Saturday, December 18, 2021, to receive gifts ranging from from frozen turkeys, to detergent, to a delicious hot meal to an envelope containing either $30, $60 or $100 in cash. “It is better to give than receive”, said Pastor James L. Hines, quoting Acts 20:35. “Things always turn out good when we follow what God said.” “I was somewhat challenged on this day because of the inclement weather. However, I remembered what my late father Pastor Joseph Hines said when I woke up to freezing rain.. “God called you to be faithful not successful.”
