Have church, will travel: Laurel Hill centenarian's church brings worship home

Rev. Mark Broadhead speaks with 101-year-old Laurel Hill resident McDonald Campbell Aug. 1 during a church service at her home.

LAUREL HILL — When mobility challenges prevented Laurel Hill centenarian McDonald Campbell from attending Sunday service, the Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church brought church to Campbell.

During the Aug. 1 service — held for Campbell's 101 birthday in her front parlor — the Rev. Mark Broadhead ordained her an Elder Emerita for almost 40 years of service on the Session, or church governing body.

Later, friends and family celebrated Campbell’s birthday with a cake baked and decorated by Laurel Hill student Jessianne Fortune.
