In March 2014, a semi truck hit the sanctuary of First Baptist Church Center Star in Killen. The church recently paid off a $1.1 million note stemming from that unexpected rebuilding project.
Alberton Baptist Church, Kinston, will host a fun day June 29, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., featuring a Bible story, large water slide, kiddie pool, food, games and crafts. All are welcome.
