St. Paul CME Church Honors the Lane College Track & Field Team

On Sunday, January 22, 2023, St. Paul, traditionally known as “The College Church”, welcomed home the 2023 HBCU Indoor Classic Women’s Track & Field National Champions. The team competed in Louisville, KY on January 16, 2023 and brought home the “Crown.” The team gathered for praise and worship service during which President Logan Hampton gave congratulatory remarks and introduced the coach, Damien Brigham. Coach Brigham gleefully greeted everyone and stated “how proud he was to be a part of this history-making moment and gave this team of young ladies high accolades for their talents, attitude and commitment to the program.” Each “Track Star” introduced themselves and stated their home city, which represented many cities in the contiguous United States ! Each team member was also presented a St. Paul ribbon necklace memento for this history making accomplishment. St. Paul’s Pastor, Rev. Dr. Claude A. Bass delivered a soul-stirring sermon entitled “Don’t Miss Your Moment.” Following the service, a “Champion’s Fellowship Reception” hosted by the local Missionary Society was held in honor of the team and coaching staff.
