NEW BRUNSWICK — City resident Charles Spence made his way through Feaster Park yesterday, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the sixth annual Deep South Festival.
Forget a favorite. Spence couldn't choose one.
"I enjoy the whole thing," said Spence, a 27-year member of Mount Calvary Baptist Church, the congregation hosting the free event. "I love it."
The Deep South Festival, a two-day affair, is scheduled to continue today at 10 a.m. at the park, Commercial Avenue and Handy Street.
Contests were held and local church choirs performed under a striped tent while attendees piled their plates with Southern favorites including fried chicken and sweet potato pie. The message was one of unity, organizers said.
"We're bringing the church out to the community," said Stephen Bellamy, who chairs Mount Calvary's deacon board. "I believe the best part of this festival is that some man, woman, boy or girl will turn their life over to Christ."
The Rev. Brenda Hicks, festival founder and assistant pastor at Mount Calvary, said the event attracts people of various backgrounds and cultures. Hicks, a native of Mississippi, said the Southern bent to the outdoor event has a wide appeal.
"You get more people from the deep, deep South that have migrated up north," she said, adding people from as far away as New York City and Louisiana have attended the annual event.
While they waited to perform with their church choir, Somerset residents Maggie and Ed Martin noshed on fried chicken and other Southern fixings under the tent with great-grandson Isaiah, 2, who is visiting from Maryland. The couple is part
of the senior ministry choir at First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens, also in Somerset.
"I think it's nice," Maggie Martin said of the festival. "That's the whole thing — reaching out to the community."
The Rev. Glorious Sanders of Friendship Christian Church in New Brunswick attended yesterday. She said the culinary offerings were a nice touch.
"I'm (originally) from the South," said Sanders, who is scheduled to speak at the festival today. "The food is always good, but fellowship is more important than anything.
"The best part is the fellowship, the coming together," she added.
Other activities planned for the Deep South Festival include a watermelon seed-spitting contests, dancers and a basketball free-throw contest.
Mount Calvary currently meets at Paul Robesen Community School while it awaits construction of a new house of worship on Comstock Street. Bellamy said the congregation has between 75 and 100 members.
For the most part, the day remained sunny.
"The weather is cooperating," Bellamy said in the early afternoon. "God is blessing us."
The Rev. Esco Yancey Jr. and his wife, the Rev. Barbara Akins-Yancey, sat under a stately tree and sold shirts with religious sayings. Musicians, the couple hail from North Carolina.
"This gives you a chance to chill and listen to music," Esco Yancey said. "This is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon."

REV. CARLTON WHIDBY, GUEST PREACHER IN ALABAMA! - April 11, 2005
Register with Gospel Times for our First Annual Revival to Montgomery/Tuskegee, Alabama, April 15-18! (Go to our "Contact Info" Page and send us an e-mail or call us toll-free.) Our guest preacher is Reverend Carlton Whidby. Read his bio:
Rev. Carlton Jackson Whidby is a licensed, ordained minister who obtained his Master’s in Divinity from Shaw University Divinity School, where he specialized in Religious Education. He also has both an Associate’s and a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. He is the recipient of numerous academic awards, including Who’s Who and a member of The Alpha Chi National Honor Society.
Rev. Whidby has dedicated his life to serving others, and he has done this in numerous capacities, including serving as: minister and pastor, Sergeant in the United States Air Force, a corrections’ officer, a deputy sheriff, an Emergency Medical Technician, a firefighter, a supervisor, and as a business owner. Politically speaking, Rev. Whidby was the co-chairman for Jesse Jackson’s 1984 Presidential Campaign for Durham County, which was the only county in North Carolina that Rev. Jackson won. Subsequently, Rev. Whidby was elected delegate from N.C. to the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco. He was campaign coordinator for Albert Wynn, the first African-American Congressman from the state of Maryland. Rev. Whidby has also testified before the U. S. Congress on behalf of small businesses.
Nevertheless, Rev. Whidby’s life took a dramatic change after he became involved in the Gospel Times Ministries about six years ago, as he began to reach out to those in need of spiritual uplift. He subsequently became the associate pastor at Cornerstone Community Church, teaching Sunday School, preaching, and participating in outreach initiatives for the church. Daily, Rev Whidby puts into action the words of his favorite scripture: Romans 12:13 which says – “Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice Hospitality.” Rev. Whidby is currently an Associate Minister at First Baptist Church in Raleigh N.C., where Dr. Dumas Harshaw is the pastor.
