Raising an Ebenezer

Members of South Main Baptist Church in Houston recently marked the church's 100th anniversary by erecting an Ebenezer in the sanctuary. A procession of members representing all ages, races and languages of the congregation walked forward with stones they collected to build the kind of historical marker mentioned in the Old Testament. Pastor Steve Wells receives stones from Charlotte and Kurt Kaiser (left) and Art and Sue Hensley (below, left). Hensley is 102 years old.
