Pastor Lance D. Watson returns to the St Paul’s Baptist Church pulpit
Richmond, VA – It is truly the one night of the year when the world comes together to celebrate the ending of one year and the beginning of a new year on New Year’s Eve. The celebration is felt around the globe with everything from Fireworks, Noise makers, Singing and Praise & Worship.
In the Commonwealth the theme of singing and Praise & Worship also continued from countless churches including Saint Paul’s Baptist Church and Calvary Pentecostal Tabernacle.
Saint Paul’s Baptist Church had an incredible New Year’s Eve Day starting with the return of their senior pastor, Dr. Lance D Watson. He made his return after eight weeks, following surgery and his recovery time. He preached during both of the New Year’s Eve Services at 10am and 7p.m.
