Thanksgiving Meals will be provided to the community at noon, Saturday, November 19, 2022, at the Mary Alice Shipp Senior Center located at 710 W Price Street Sylvester, GA 31791. In addition to serving meals at the Senior Center, meals will be delivered to the elderly. This outreach event is coordinated by New Willow Grove Baptist Church in memory of Mr. Stephen B. Bruce, Jr. (June 3, 1994- November 20, 2020).

Stephen had a heart for and reached out to the elderly, poor, homeless, and underserved communities. Due to his commitment to community service and volunteerism he was awarded a full-ride community service scholarship to Carson Newman College which is a small liberal arts Christian college in Jefferson, TN. It is noteworthy that the Biblical character Stephen is first mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. He was one of seven deacons appointed by the Apostles to distribute food and charitable aid to poorer members of the community in the early church.

Stephen, Jr. is survived by his widow Ms. Keundra Wilson Bruce; two sons Asher Gregory Bruce and Beaux Hilton Bruce; parents Mr. Stephen (Mrs. LaKisha) Bruce, the Rev. Dr. Lyn Cheevers, and Mr. Anthony Branch; father-in-law Mr. Edward Wilson and mother-in-law Mrs. Tracey Wilson; grandparents Mr. Hilton and Pr.
