Hillcrest Baptist Church to hold first worship service

Special to The Herald
Hillcrest Baptist Church shares the exciting news of its first worship service in its new facilities.
The former church building was completely destroyed during the April 24, 2010 tornado that ripped through Yazoo County.
Since that day, the church has been busy planning, constructing and praying for its new building.
The first services in that building will be held on Nov. 6, beginning at 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.
During this time, Hillcrest Baptist Church will also thank St. John’s Methodist Church, located at the corner of Calhoun Avenue and 13th Street, for allowing them to hold services at their church while reconstruction continued.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
