“Stonewall Baptist Church has been strongly committed to breast cancer awareness and outreach,” says church member Catherine Wright. “In addition to the Pink Sunday event, the church has formed the C.

A breakfast symposium will be held at Stonewall on Saturday, October 27th in the Family Life Center at 10:00a.m.
