Even without their own church, the congregation of Grace United will be celebrating Christmas.

Progress has been slow but steady on the new wing of the church, since the original second wing was knocked down back in the fall.

Construction is going really well, said Grace United Minster Paul DuVal.

We would have been happier if we got started a month earlier, but all things considered, the walls are up, the concretes in good shape, were moving ahead steadily, and it looks like within the next week to two weeks were going to start putting the floor on.

The long period of construction has meant that the congregation wont have their own church building until work is finished, which could take until next fall. In the meantime, routine services are held in the church hall of Knox Presbytarian.

The Presbyterians have been wonderful hosts, and it kind of grows on you, said DuVal.

The more you spend time in a certain space, it becomes a bit like home, and its not really home but it feels good. People still have a church to go to at Christmas and its going to be different, but most of the folks are adjusting, and the interesting thing thats going to happen is how people are going to feel when we move back into our newly renovated church, if that is going to be disorienting or if people are going to miss the Presbyterian hall when we move back in there, because human beings are creatures of habit, we get used to certain things and even if its what weve always wanted its different again.

DuVal also believes that the feeling among the congregation is one of positivity about their situation, which stands in contrast to a year ago when the project faced difficulties getting off the ground. With shovels now in the ground and concrete poured, people feel as though progress is being made.

There was a lot of discouragement last year when we werent going ahead and people were worried about whether the project was on track, said DuVal.

Grace United construction continues

Josephus Shingles has been a deacon at Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church Number 2 for 30 years. He says his church getting vandalized with the words KKK was surprising.

Shingles said, "When this happened we were a little caught off guard."

Mount Olive is the third Wakulla County church to be tagged with the letters this week.

Wakulla County Sheriffs, FDLE, and the FBI are all involved in an investigation that has yielded several persons of interest.

Officials have been painting over the vandalism to try and cover it up, but remnants of the letters can still be seen on church walls.

"I think it's cowards hiding behind a spray can," said Charlie Creel, Wakulla County Sheriff.

Creel says there is no cause for alarm, adding Wakulla is not a hateful community.

Creel said, "It's probably the work of somebody that's just bored and wanting to start some trouble down here, I don't think it's an active hate group that's involved in these activities."

For Shingles, he's concerned but says the community will bounce back. He cites the construction of his church as an example.

KKK Sprayed on Another Church in Wakulla County

The recent news that St. Lawrence Catholic Church of Tampa won permission from the Cuban government to start building the first new Catholic Church in Cuba since it embraced communism in 1959 has many hoping for more religious freedom in the island nation.

But in a visit to Tampa this week, an outspoken religious leader who lives in Cuba advised people against getting their hopes up.

Cuba uses religion to further politics, said Mario Felix Lleonart Barroso, a Baptist pastor of Ebenezer Church in Taguayabon, Cuba.

The Cuban government, Lleonart Barroso said, forces religious leaders to propagate its own message that Communism works in the best interests of the people along with the word of God. Religious leaders who say otherwise risk losing their churches.

So the new Catholic Church to be located in Sandino, he said, amounts to a new weapon for the Cuban government.

The Rev. Ramon Hernandez of St. Lawrence, who spoke with The Tampa Tribune recently about the drive to raise money for the church and his own upbringing in Cuba, could not be reached for comment Wednesday on this view of the government's motives in allowing him to proceed.

Lleonart Barroso was in Tampa as keynote speaker at a luncheon hosted by United for Human Rights, a Los Angeles-based education group.

The luncheon celebrated the 66th anniversary of the signing at the United Nations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The event was held inside the Church of Scientology's Ybor City headquarters.

Gracia Bennish, United for Human Rights' president and a member of the Church of Scientology, said the church publishes her organization's materials but has no other link to it.

Pastor: Cuba will use new church as a tool

The First Assembly of God held a ribbon cutting ceremony on the morning of Dec. 4th. The church joined the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and is experiencing a renewal. The First Assembly of God Church began in 1913 as a cottage prayer meeting and over the years has become what it is today.

The current building was built in 1988 under Pastor Rick Vinson and for the past 25 years the church has been led by lead Pastor Rev. John Miller. In April of 1995 construction began on the Activity Center. The current ministries of the church include the Food Bank, Greenwood Healing Center, Greenwood Bible College and ministries to our Children, Youth and Adults. Current Staff is Rev. Brandon Hogue, Youth Minister and Administer and Tanya Bivins Childrens Pastor.

Recent improvements to the outside of the church building are the results of a gift given to the church by a former church member. Lead Pastor Rev. John Miller is excited about all the improvements and wants to bring new life to the church. We have been fixing it up and making it attractive for people to come in and see whats inside.

Youth Minister Rev. Brandon Hogue is excited about the upcoming Christmas programs as well as what the church has to offer the community.

Tanya Bivins, childrens pastor was also excited about upcoming events, Our kids ministry does lots of outreach programs and events. Bivins wanted the community to know that they are available if you have any questions about their programs.

The First Assembly of God is located at 725 Park Drive in Greenwood. They can be contacted at 996-6030. The church provides one of the largest food-banks in the area that serves 100-200 families per week.
