New Hebron Baptist Church withstood the forces of nature in Pike County for 102 years but was nearly knocked down Monday, Aug. 30 by a logging company truck. The Mack truck driven by John Crowder Jr. was circling the church to turn around when it struck the back right corner, knocking a gaping six-foot hole in the wall and shifting the church forward two inches on its brick pillars.

Trust me, this was not a act of God. We need to start a fundraiser to repair this church of history. I'll do the biscuits. Anyone do the pies? A good bake sale? Let us all work together, everyone chip in. I know the volunteer firefighters will.

IN GOD WE TRUST

PPH maybe you could get Parrish to take some more pies in the face. Hope it works better this time. You could also donate the profits from IP# sales. Make it happen, move this project forward.
