Rock Of Ages Baptist Church Continues To Make Improvements In Maywood!!!

The Rock of Ages Baptist Church, under the leadership of their Pastor Marvin E. Wiley, continues to make tremendous improvement in the Village of Maywood. Wiley recently announced plans to build a Senior Housing Complex between 11th and 13th Avenues on Madison Street, directly across the street from the church. A development such as this will help an aging community maintain some of its older residents. Seniors are also helpful to a communities tax base. Kudos to the Rock of Ages Baptist Church and its pastor!!!

The Rock Is Staying! The Rock Is Staying!

The Proviso Insider weblog has received an email at provisoinsider@hotmail.com which indicates that the Rock of Ages Baptist Church will be staying in Maywood after all. The had announced two weeks ago plans to relocate to another City due to problems frequently encountered with Maywood Village officials. However, sources report that the church's longtime pastor, Rev. Marvin E. Wiley, announced plans to stay. The church's new plan involves relocating its 9:30am service to Bolingbrook, but will continue to serve the community with worship services at 7:30am and 11:30am in Sundays. This is good news for the Maywood community!!!

Rock of Ages Baptist Church Leaving Maywood!!!

Sources tell the Proviso Insider web log that the Rock of Ages Baptist Church in Maywood is preparing to leave Maywood after 58 years in the community. Sources say the Rev. Marvin E. Wiley announced at the Sunday services on September 21, 2008, that the church is looking for 25 acres of land and will leave Maywood asap. According to sources, the church announced last year that it desires to expand the church and build additional parking lots. However, the Maywood Village leadership has continued to block the church's development plans unnecessarily. With the Rock of Ages Baptist Church being one of the bright spots in Maywood, violence in that town remain at an all time high. Gangs, drugs, prostitution, and corruption are rampant! The Maywood Village officials need to get there acts together! If not, Maywood's voters should throw them out in April 2009!!!!
