In an empty field on Packinghouse Road, nearly 100 believers gathered on a hot July evening for the groundbreaking ceremony of United Fellowship Worship Center. With a host of “hallelujahs,” “glory,” and “thank you, Jesus,” members who have met for 4½ years in the chapel of Hill’s Mortuary recognized the ground on which they stood as “holy ground” and dedicated the property to God. Two tents, decorated with helium-filled purple and gold balloons, kept participants slightly shaded, but the summer heat continued to burst some of the balloons throughout the service.
