Additional Description: Ever noticed the hand pointing toward the Heavens atop the Brick Church. Only two churches in the country are known to have a "Heavenly Hand" and it was instilled in a young French Bubba Richardson Jr. that is pointed the way to Heaven. The hand tumbled during a storm in the 1920s and -- the young Bubba. The bell tower lacked this adornment until 2000? when Bubba then into his late eighties and his friend Dr. D Morgan carved a replacement that will point the way to Heaven for generations to come.
