Ticket sales continue for the Duplin County Hall of Fame’s 14th Annual Awards Banquet where the 2009 winners will be announced publicly for the fi rst time and formally inducted into the Hall of Fame. The banquet will begin at 6:30 p.m., Nov. 5, at the Jester’s Court in the Country Squire in Kenansville. Ticket price is $27.50.

“Again this year, the Selection Commit-tee had many outstanding candidates from which to choose, and they chose two whose contributions to us all are truly stellar,” Hall of Fame President Sharon Patterson said.

The Hall of Fame Selection Committee is a standing committee, consisting of a local minister, a health professional, an educa-tor, a business person, and a governmen-tal offi cial. Selection Committee members come from fi ve different townships in Dup-lin County and do not know the identity of their fellow committee members.

“Our recipients have been chosen, our preparations for the banquet are complete,

tickets are being sold, and we all look for-ward to a wonderful night of celebration as we honor this year’s recipients,” Patterson said.

Last year’s Hall of Fame Award for a liv-ing recipient went to Hervy B. Kornegay, M.D., and the 2008 Hall of Fame Award for a deceased recipient went to James Robert “Bob” Grady.

feel comfortable with me. Then I have worked in some of my own things in too.”

Dilley knows the area well. He was pastor for the Northeast Free Will Bap-tist Church in Mount Olive for 16 years. Northeast is well-known for its longev-ity as well. The church was founded in 1827.

“It’s the Lord’s will,” said Dilley. “I was not looking to move along (to another posi-tion). It was just the Lord’s will. I can’t say how long I will remain here — until I am called elsewhere.”

One thing that will defi -nitely keep his feet on the ground at Free Will Baptist is the congregation.

“I can’t say enough about the kind hearts of the people here, and the overwhelming welcome we have received,” said Dilley. “Not too long ago, my son was sick, and right out of the blue, one of the parishioners called me up and asked how he was doing. Right out of the blue like that. That really meant a lot to us.”

Dilley said that once he found out the system that Free Will Baptist was used to, things became a lot eas-ier for all.

“Each church has its own way of doing things,” said Dilley. “This is a wonder-

ful church and a wonderful place to worship.”

This past Sunday marked the 114th Homecoming for the church, capping off a week-long celebration.

Last Tuesday, the congre-gation took part in a Com-munity Prayer Service at Nahunta Friends Church. Then, on Saturday, the an-nual Fall Festival was held at Free Will Baptist. There was a trick or trunk deco-rating contest; costume con-

tests, games and food. On Sunday, friends and

visitors gathered for Sun-day School Hour, followed by Morning Worship.

Dilley has been mar-ried to Sharon Dilley for 17 years. They have two children, Tyler, age 14; and Mandy, age 10.

This coming Sunday, the church will be celebrating the Ordinance of Baptism. Mandy Tilley will be bap-tized.
