SMITHS STATION, Ala. (WTVM) - A community-wide event was hosted by Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church for the city to hear about services and resources available to them.

Mount Olive provided free hotdogs and hamburgers, games and toys for children, and fellowship for all -even free funnel cakes from a local vendor.
Miss Fannie Lamar was the organizer of the event and says putting it on was on her heart for awhile.
“Now that we are able to come back together again, it does a lot and it says a lot today,” said Pastor Jeffery McCauley. “What the people have expected, I think we’re doing a great job. We the church, Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, where I serve as pastor, we’re here for you. We’re here for the community, we love you.”
