Pastor Dr. Jerry Spruell thanked local supporters for their help during the transition.

Invest Greenville and Pitt County government invested $20,000 in a public art mural project to support downtown revitalization in Bethel (the mural, reflecting local heritage and community ties, was completed by artist Max Dowdle in early August).

The sessions will feature interactive discussions & expert input to guide education strategies.
