Congregants of Lower King and Queen Baptist Church lost their 101-year-old Dragonville house of worship in an unexplained fire on Aug. 13, 2021. They have been temporarily having Sunday services in the King and Queen Woman’s Club building at King and Queen Courthouse and other locations. That is expected to change in coming months when Lower King and Queen Baptist builds a new home on the 204 Timber Branch Road site where its previous church stood. Ground breaking is set for 11 a.m. this Sunday, July 23. The rain date is set for 11 a.m. Sunday, July 30. Attendees should bring a chair.
Contributions still needed
The church still needs contributions to its building fund to make the new church a reality. Donors should mail checks to Lower King and Queen Baptist Church, C/O Treasurer T.O. Longest Jr., P.O. Box 126, King and Queen C.H., VA 23085. Checks should include “Building Fund” on the memo line.
