On Monday, April 27, members of Pilgrim Baptist Church gathered in their vehicles with home-made signs, party hats and whistles to wish their pastor, Rev. Dwight O. Steele, Sr. a happy 65th Birthday. The group had planned a great celebration for their energetic pastor who has served Pilgrim Church for the past 32 years with a commentary birthday bash and a 32nd Anniversary service with special guest artist talent from across the county, local and state as part of the celebration.
Due to the Coronavirus epidemic, these services will be rescheduled. However it did not stop the parishioners from celebrating with party favorites, signs and well wishes. Members were instead invited to enjoy a birthday takeout cupcake as they formed a parade of cars around the church parking lot, spearheaded by Ms. Bonnie Pritchett, First Lady Steele and the Pilgrim Baptist Church adult Sunday school class.
