THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 2023 Page 15 ger might lend itself to a story and/or a photo. Stumped by The Sketch Artist We had no winners in last week’s “Guess Who Got Sketched” contest. Here’s last week’s answer, off ered by the person who goes by the name of The Sketch Artist: “The answer to last week’s sketch is the Baptist Reverend Leroy Mahoney and First Lady Natavia Mahoney. “The Reverend and First Lady Natavia off er great hospitality at the First Baptist church (FBC) 105 Main Street Saugus, Ma. 01906 (781-231-1690) FBCS@FirstBaptistSaugus.org. “The Ministry goes beyond the four walls out into the world with their countless outreaches and ministries. “Reverend Mahoney’s and his guest speakers for Sunday Sermons at 11:00 are available to participate in live and also as a later viewing on the FBC web site. “Scrolling on their website brings you to Faith Family Fellowship -About us “‘The First Baptist Church (FBC) is a church where all are welcome to come learn more about the Father (God) the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.’ “FBC Saugus website tells of how they welcome all to come to learn about God and not only be taught but to live it out every day. They believe in building up the people of God to where God wants us to be. A church who lives and grows their children. A church that when you visit, you cannot help but feel the Spirit of God in a loving family atmosphere. “It definitely describes accurately! It’s such a welcoming presence and I felt right at home upon a visit:) “When entering the church you are met with welcomingly hospitality and big warm genuine smiles and a peaceful atmosphere. “Reverend Leroy offers various Ministries and outreaches throughout the year. “Recently January 14, they generously presented a basic Computer Class and internet safety class and lunch and free refurbished laptops at their church. “They do a Monthly community outreach of ‘Can We Talk’ Community Conversations on trauma and Healing. “A group where they offer a meal fi rst and then gather around to talk, and have a councilor on hand if anyone needs confi dential discussion as well. Anyone for any reason is welcome to participate. This Group Starts at 6:00 fi rst Thursday of the month in the Reverend Isaac Mitchell Fellowship Hall. “Reverend Leroy and Natavia and their staff of Ministers; Reverend Edward Bernard, Reverend Ulysses Bernard Stroud, Minister Letitia Stroud, Minister Robyn Monique Mars, Minister Maria Barron, and Minister Ernest Dudley IV continue spreading hope, love and their hospitality and outreaches throughout cities and Towns. They have touched Saugonians and beyond in so many numerous quiet ways as Beacons of lights through outstretched hands and rolled up sleeves of hands-on Ministries. “Thankyou “Yours Truly, “The Sketch Artist” Legion breakfasts on Friday mornings Saugus American Legion Post 210 hosts its popular breakfasts from 8-9 a.m. on Fridays.
