Annual Women’s Day Program
Our theme for this program was Women of the Word. It was a celebration of Godly women and
their walk with God, devotion to family, their vessel of life. We thank God for the women who
came before us and paved the way. Thanks to all the ladies who help to make this a wonderful
day.
Memorial Day Service
On Monday, May 29, 2017 Shiloh Baptist New Site, Shiloh Baptist Old Site and Mount Zion
Baptist churches came together at the Shiloh cemetery to commemorate Memorial Day.
The cemetery is the final resting place of many prominent African-Americans from
Fredericksburg. Our Minister Ritta Armstead served as guest speaker. Music was provided
by the Shiloh Baptist Church New Site Mass Choir. The American Legion
Post 55 led the Pledge of Allegiance. The service was a blessing from start to finish.

A Graduate’s Prayer
Holy Spirit, lead me.
Let me run at Your command,
Yet be still and know that you are God
When trouble is close at hand.
Your word will be a lamp for me,
A guide to light my way,
A solid place to set my feet,
A compass when I stray.
May I live my life to praise you,
Not for fortune, nor for fame,
May everything I say and do
Bring glory to your name.
May my eyes stay fixed upon You
As I seek the way that's pure,
Tasting your love and goodness
Sleeping and rising secure.
Planted by your living streams
I'll delight in all your ways,
Hidden by your sheltering wings
With new mercies for each day.
Even in a dangerous land
When storms threaten to destroy,
At the cross I'll stand upon the rock
My strength, my hope, my Joy.
Dear Lord, show me your favor,
At all times keep me blessed,
May your face ever shine upon me,
With peace and perfect rest.
Amen
