When the Rev. Dr. A.C.D. Vaughn showed up for his regularly scheduled Saturday afternoon Bible Study class, Nov. 10, at Sharon Baptist Church in Baltimore, he was

pleasantly surprised. In addition to the usual gathering, family members, friends and clergy

from around the area showed up to honor his 55 years in ministry. The crowd included folks from his former ministries, from Promised

Land Baptist Church, Moneta, Va. and Grace Memorial Baptist Church in Baltimore. The

former president of the Hampton Ministers’ Conference, the largest interdenominational

gathering of preachers in the country, he’s the current chair of the board and co-

founder of the Determined Biblical and Theological Institute at New Shiloh Baptist Church.

On Nov. 13, the Baltimore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America hosted the Whitney Young Jr. Service Award banquet at the Radisson at Cross Keys. The event honored Dr. Samuel Ross, CEO of Bon Secours Baltimore Health System and Marty Azola, president of Azola & Associates. The honorees were feted in recognition of their contributions towards providing scouting opportunities for youth from various backgrounds.
