MIDDLEBORO — First Baptist Church is hosting “Four Chaplains Sunday” on Sunday, Feb. 4 at 4 p.m.

The service will honor four Army chaplains who acted in the spirit of heroic sacrifice and humanitarianism onboard a sinking ship: Reverend George L. Fox, Reverend Clark V. Poling, Rabbi Alexander D. Goode and Father John P. Washington. The four men were aboard the USAT Dorchester on Feb. 3, 1943 when it was torpedoed by a German submarine. The four men helped save as many people as they could before passing away.

"We're happy to host this beautiful, moving service once again this year," said Rev. Jason Genest, the Pastor of First Baptist Church. For more information, contact the church office at (508) 947-5382.
