Deacon Mable Owens Clarke
*Always*Active*Every*Day*
for Soapstone Church!
Deacon Mable works every day for Soapstone Baptist Church! Maintenance; Publicity; Phone calls; Emails; Meetings; Financial; Book Tour Lectures and more meetings with the Church Board, plus her works as a Deacon in caring for individuals in the local community who are sick or need ministering.
Since her return to the Liberia Valley, Mable worked side by side with her parents in every aspect of church life.
As you have read in the history of Soapstone, Mable's family aren't just church members. Soapstone Baptist Church is the Living Legacy of her ancestors passed down generation after generation and it MUST LIVE ON!
From brush arbor to a crudely constructed wooden building that lasted 100 years and would have lasted more if it had not been torched by hate, to the present building constructed by the pastor and the local skills of the community members, this church has been the beating heart of the community for more than 150 years.
Deacon Mable will do everything in her ability to keep the church active,
spread the story of its history,
and share the love and blessings God has given her.
On June 8, 2022, Deacon Mable and crew host a luncheon for supporters of Soapstone.
