The Faith Baptist Church will be hosting a benefit for the Dorsey family at the Truman Kimbro Center in Madisonville on Saturday, August 4th at 5:00pm.

All are welcome, any donation is appreciated.
Donations can be made at Wells Fargo through the Richard Dorsey Benefit Fund. For more information on how to help you can contact Brian Smith, the Pastor of Faith Baptist Church at brian@faithmadisonville.com.
