Bishop F.C. Barnes transitioned in the early hours of yesterday morning at the age of 82 (see the related post here), but not before leaving a rich legacy to be remembered for years to come.
Bishop Barnes founded Red Budd Holy Church in Rocky Mount in 1959. This week’s pick, “It Was A Great Thing,” features him with the Red Budd Combined Choir.
Thank you, Bishop Barnes, for reminding us of the mercy of Jesus Christ. Yes, it was a great thing that He did for us!
