In Honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and in an attempt to help us pay closer attention to what God is doing in our community, we have a guest preacher named Sam Collins on January 16. Mr. Collins is a local historian and community leader. He and his family live in Hitchcock where he is active as a member and on the preaching team at Greater St. Matthews Baptist Church. Over the years, Mr. Collins has done much to help people in the Greater Galveston County area tell a more accurate history of our beautiful region. Most recently, Mr. Collins was instrumental in helping establish the Juneteenth Legacy Project in Galveston, TX where he serves as the president. Here is a clip of Mr. Collins talking about the importance of Juneteenth on Good Morning America (https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/video/celebrating-juneteenth-78408812)
