From Oak Grove To Walnut Hill To Cantonment: Woman Honored For Service
May 5, 2009
The life and ministry of a North Escambia woman were honored during a weekend church service.
Pine Forest Assembly of God honored Mrs. Nell Green Sunday for her 90th birthday. Mrs. Green and her late husband, Rev. George Green, pastored many churches in Northwest Florida and South Alabama in the mid-1900’s including Oak Grove Assembly, Ensley Assembly and Ashland Park in Pensacola. They were also the founding pastors of Laurel Hill Assembly and Walnut Hill Assembly now known as New Life Fellowship.
“I haven’t ever felt special in my life, but today I feel special,” Mrs. Green told the congregation.
They had six children including George Wendell Green, Bobby Gene Green, Darlene Marie Harden, Glenda Evelyn Burleson and Rita Frances Kornegay. They also raised their niece and nephew Shirley Grant and Michael Kilpatrick. The Greens also had 26 foster children come through their home. Mrs. Green also served many years in ministry through Brownsville Assembly of God, until her health would no longer allow her to do so.
