The Officers and members of Progressive Baptist Church wish to thank everyone for their participation in the celebration of our Pastor and Mrs. Bell's thirty-sixth year Pastoral Appreciation. The day was a tremendous success thanks to the continued love and support from family and friends of the Honorees. We thank you for your presence, your beautiful words of praise, and your contributions to the church in honor of Rev. and Mrs. C. J. Bell. Special thanks go out to Jackie Alston, Program Coordinator and the members of Progressive Baptist Church for all their work and support. Thanks to Rev. and Mrs. C. J. Bell for their many years of dedicated services to Progressive Baptist Church and the community. Last, but not least, all thanks, glory, and praise to Almighty God for making all these things possible.
