NASSAU, BAHAMAS — As the nation continues battling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mount Olive Baptist Church has likewise continued its efforts to support and uplift the community.
Such efforts include the recent donation of tablets to a local government school; food distribution in collaboration with the Bain Grants Town Feeding Project; and a church service to celebrate Bain Grants Town Heroes Week.
Tablet donation
With most students receiving their education virtually, the need for tablets and other devices is great and growing, especially at the primary school level.
In response to the need, Mount Olive Baptist Church donated six tablets to Eva Hilton Primary School in Oakes Field.
During the presentation Mount Olive Baptist Church Pastor Dr Reverend CB Moss thanked the administrators for the excellent results being produced, and appealed to the public to support Eva Hilton and other schools.
Feeding the community
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on and with the economy still in the doldrums, the need for food assistance continues for many and may be increasing as the national feeding program is on pause for review by the new government.
The Bain Grants Town Feeding Project has responded to the situation by expanding its own program.
Recently, hundreds of packages were distributed, bringing the total to over 26,000 in addition to thousands of prepared meals.
Service of celebration
In spite of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 10th Annual Thanksgiving Service in celebration of Bain Grants Town Heroes Week was recently held at Mount Olive Baptist Church.
The service was attended by community leaders, including Wayde Watson, newly elected member of Parliament for the Bain & Grants Town constituency.
Watson brought greetings in what he said was his first public speech since being elected.
The sermon was delivered by Moss.
