Coming Home!

Sunday, August 4th was Monticello Baptist Church’s 208th Annual Homecoming. After a welcome and opening prayer, bluegrass gospel group Higher Ground performed for the crowd. They played plenty of standards as well as several originals. They closed with the classic hymn “Amazing Grace”, which turned into a sing-along with the whole congregation.

Afterwards, Bro. Randy Burns brought a wonderful homecoming-centered message. There were about 130 in attendance. After services, everyone proceeded to make their way to the basement for a meal of fried chicken and plenty of side items, desserts and soft drinks.

There was also a lot of fellowship. One of the great things about homecoming is that you see people you haven’t seen in quite a while. Everyone had a great time in the Lord!
