On Nov. 16, individuals came from the Buckeye State of Ohio, the Blue Grass State of Kentucky and the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., all to celebrate the 25th pastoral anniversary of Pastor James Hunt and First lady Sheila Johnson-Hunt of First Baptist Church of Penn Hills.
On this evening they also celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Western Penn Hills Community Action Inc.
The recognitions for the Hunts were plentiful. Proclamations from AlleÂgheny County, Penn Hills, the City of Pittsburgh and the Senate of Pennsylvania were acknowledged.
There were a plethora of ministers and reverends on the program, and all respected their allotted time limit to speak.
The Hunts were recognized by their longtime friend and mentor Rev. Dr. J. Alfred Winsett, former president of the PA Baptist State Convention and pastor emeritus of Ebenezer Baptist Church. Both Rev. James E. Hunt and Rev. Dr. Sheila Hunt were licensed and ordained by the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, Pa., under the leadership of Rev. Winsett.
