BELOVED FAMILY
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV)
When King Solomon wrote these words over 3,000 years ago, he recognized God’s sovereignty over all the seasons of our lives: the good and the bad. The season of the coronavirus pandemic and racial unrest have taken a toll, yet we are resilient through our faith. We have been presented with an opportunity to enter a new season –– to embrace life, joy and family.
​
The reunion committee chose "Building Bridges" as the theme to show our commitment to this new season and to foster bonds that have the potential to change the dynamic of our family for decades to come. More than a century has passed since B.J. and Meta Bell were married. A union which represents over 300 living descendants for all of us to get to know and love!
​
As we smooth out the last event details, we ask that you purchase your tickets soon so we know who’s coming.
​
We look forward to seeing you next summer!

~Kearse Reunion Committee
​
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails ...
I Corinthians 13: 4-8 (NKJV)
