Life, Ministry Of North Escambia Woman To Be Honored
May 2, 2009
The life and ministry of a North Escambia woman will be honored Sunday morning.
Pine Forest Assembly of God in Cantonment will honor Mrs. Nell Green at 10:30 a.m. Sunday for her 90th birthday. Mrs. Nell 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.
They had six children: 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.
The public is invited to attend the service at 10:30 Sunday morning at the Pine Forest Assembly of God at 3125 Pine Forest Road. A lunch reception will follow the service. For more information, call (850) 476-1378.
