Humeston Dedicates New First National Church in Pride
The Humeston community celebrated the dedication of the new First National Church last Sunday.

Douglass Dr D P Breed and L Bradford assisting, and Rev Breed preached the dedication sermon. Evening services were equally well attended with music by a gifted lineup, including Ruswell J Wright who delivered a powerful soprano performance. The event sparked strong town pride as church members and neighbors gathered from surrounding towns to witness the dedication and celebrate the congregation’s faithful work.
