 Deacon Phillip L. Poulson - Deacon Poulson joined the
Morning Star Baptist Church and was baptized. At Morning Star he was a member of
the Young Adult Choir and the Garnett Male Chorus. He also served as Assistant
Superintendent of the Sunday School. Because of Mr. Poulson's faithfulness to
God and his church, he was ordained as a Deacon in the early 1960's. Bible
reading, prayer and serving God and his church were of the utmost importance to
Deacon Poulson. He was an excellent role model for younger members of his
church, his family and his neighborhood. Although he became progressively
disabled after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1962, Deacon Poulson
continued to worship the Lord and remained alert, cheerful and encouraging to
others. Though physically limited, Deacon Poulson was on the battlefield for his
Lord. His tenacity, love of his fellowman, unselfishness and gentle spirit never
faltered.

 A Glimpse into Psalm 69
- WThe Book of Psalms is quoted in the New Testament more than any other book in
Old Testament. Jesus said that the psalms spoke about Him (Luke 24:44) and they
constitute irrefutable testimony to the Divine inspiration of the Scriptures.
The Messianic psalms include Psalm 2, 8, 16, 22, 23, 24, 40, 41, 45, 68, 69, 87,
89, 102, 110, 118, et al. Next to Psalm 22, Psalm 69 is the most quoted psalm in
the New Testament: Psalm 22 deals with the death of Christ, Psalm 69 deals with
the life of Christ. Psalm 69 is quoted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John, and also in Acts and Romans. (There are also many references to it
beyond those actual quotations.).
 Lilly Swift
- A poet once said "He who plants a garden plants happiness". Lilly W. Swift is
the flower who brings happiness to the Morning Star Baptist Church of Christ.
She is the older daughter of the late Deacon Alexander and Lena Maiden. She has
been a faithful and hard working member for seventy two years and she is still
going strong. She joined "the Star" at the tender age of thirteen.
