HOMECOMING 66

Calvary Baptist Church Homecoming 66 was truly one to remember. The church was almost packed, extra tables had to be brought out to hold all the southern style cooking, and the best Gospel singing abound.

Mrs. Tawana Greer Lowery and her two daughters, Jarilyn and Jordan, from First Baptist Church, Alexander City opened the Morning Service with The Lord’s Prayer sang acappella. Tawana is the daughter of Rev. Martin and Mrs. Elizabeth Greer long time members of Calvary Baptist Church.

Harlan Burton began his concert with One Day AT A Time dedicated to Dewayne Sanders who has been diagnosed with colon cancer. Dewayne under went surgery in B’ham to remove the tumors from his colon Monday. Dewayne is Rev. Tom Pemberton, Pastor of Calvary, son-in-law.

Called to sing ... Those are the words that best describe Harlan Burton. Harlan has established himself in southern Gospel music with his smooth vocals, sincere delivery and caring personality. A couple of Harlan's favorite songs are "Learning To Lean" and "One Day AT A Time." Harlan has learned, through a few crises in his life, to turn his life completely over to Jesus Christ. He has learned that if he lives life one day at a time, the Lord will use His Holy Spirit to teach him, guide him and strengthen him in times of need. Harlan has also learned to praise God no matter what comes his way in life.
