Mary Carter
A Mother Who Wears Many Hats
Mary L Carter, wife of the
late Walter Carter, joined Morning Star Baptist Church of Christ about fifty
years ago under the pastorate of Rev Nathaniel Wicks. She is the beloved mom of
ten children, two deceased. Mary is the niece of the late Elnora Wesley. In her
early years, Mary was a member of the Sunday school and the Baptist Training
Union. Later she joined the Sanctuary and Revival choirs and the Cluster of
Clubs. For many years Mary was the leader of the Girl Scout troop at "the Star".
Sis. Carter retired from the Social Security
Administration after twenty one dedicated years of service. Mary states that
after retiring, she did not want to "just sit at home" so, she found out about a
program at the Baltimore Experience Corp. where seniors can volunteer to work.
She was there for four years. After that period, she worked with children in
elementary grade school. The energetic Mary found out about another program
called the Foster Grandparent where she started out working with the juvenile
department as a mentor. After excelling there, she was moved to the Westport
School where she assists the teacher with the pre kindergarten class she is
currently working with. Mary states that she thoroughly enjoys what she does
there.
Mary is very active at the Morning Star church she
loves. She is the treasurer of the choir, a member of the Building Fund, where
she is secretary, the Pastor's Aide, the Board of Christian Education, and the
Missionary Society. Mary has worked with the Vacation Bible School for many
years. As a matter of fact Mary can be found working at the "Star" wherever
there is a need. Mary loves her God and her church and shows it; and her church
loves and appreciates her.
