Local church celebrates Black History Month

For the last Sunday of the month, New Popular Springs’ (NPS) Baptist Church is hosting its Black History Month program in conjunction with its worship service.

“Each February we honor our rich legacy, celebrate our local history makers and praise God for the great things He has done through African Americans,” said Rev. Richard Jacobs, pastor of NPS. “We proudly proclaim our history and say even as God’s people said in Psalms 78:4 ‘We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power and the wonders He has done.”
