BLADENBORO — A fundraiser will being held for a former minister in Bladen County and his wife.

A barbecue plate sale will be held Saturday, Sept. 24, at 11 a.m. at the Center Road Baptist Church Community Building. Plates are being sold by donation only, and the church is asking people to give as they feel lead in order to assist this couple who once ministered to the community.
