Baldwin Branch Missionary Baptist Church recently honored members of the church for various accomplishments.

Ardenlian “Dean” Jessup and Hilda F. Cromartie were named the Mothers of the Year. Jessup was selected due to her enthusiasm and effectiveness in all that she does as a member. She is dedicated to the ushers ministry and the United Voices Choir.

Cromartie is a very committed mother, extremely friendly, outgoing and a friend to all that attend the worship services during her ushering experience. She is known for her magnificent and famous “chicken salad”.

Cadet Kieara Porter, member of the Youth Ministry and the Youth-Teen Choir, has been recognized by Military Officers Association of America for her demonstrated exceptional potential for military leadership. She is a rising senior at West Bladen High School.
