Tolosa Baptist has new Pastor
Special to The Monitor
TOLOSA–The Rev. Hershell Smith was voted in as the new pastor for Tolosa
Baptist Church Sunday, Dec. 3.
He had previously pastored several churches in the Dallas area, the last
being Morningside Baptist Church for 26 years. He then went into
evangelist work for the last eight years.
Feeling the Lord was leading him in a new direction, he accepted the
call to Tolosa Baptist Church.
The congregation is excited about the new work and expect many new
things and works to begin in the church.
Tolosa Baptist Church is located on State Highway 274 between Kemp and
Seven Points. The church wants to be known as the local church with a
community spirit.
Tolosa Baptist Church takes this opportunity to thank the Rev. Jay Bowen
for serving as interim pastor and for his leadership during this
transition time.
The church also thanks Joann Lingle for filling in as organist during
this period.
