Bethel Baptist Church, located just off off Hwy. 54, north of Greenfield, will host a Relay for Life gospel singing in honor of Regena Rowlett April 28 at 6:30 p.m. Ms. Rowlett, known by most as “Momma Gena” for her tireless efforts as a Godly daycare provider to many of Greenfield’s toddlers over the years, lost her battle with cancer in January 2011, but continues to affect the community through the children she cared for while she was alive.
The group Second Generation will be the featured singers. Second Generation consists of cousins whose parents made up the Melody Makers Quartet, Jeff Perkins of Greenfield, Wendy Tate of Kenton and Mitch and Wendell Verdell, brothers of Ms. Rowlett, of Gleason and Kathy Perkins Stover of Dresden.
This event will be a night of praising God through good old gospel music.
The public is invited to attend.
A love offering will be taken and all proceeds will go toward Greenfield’s Relay for Life fundraising efforts.
