THOMASVILLE — First Baptist Church Thomasville will host author and speaker Betty Sawyer in a special presentation of her newly published book, “It’s Going To Be All Right,” at noon Tuesday, Jan. 29, in the church fellowship hall.

The event is part of the church’s monthly Young at Heart luncheon held the last Tuesday of the month for senior adults. The event is free and open to the public.

Sawyer, a member of First Baptist, has yet to “retire.” After more than 45 years of experience as a social worker, years of writing articles for the local newspaper relating to health matters and founding an award-winning Alzheimer’s/Dementia support group, she decided to write her first book.

“It’s Going To Be All Right” introduces readers to a celebration of life through positive thinking, valuing family and friends and recognizing the power of laughter. The book is a wealth of knowledge gleaned from experience, research and a love of using words to make a difference in people’s lives.

Sawyer is a popular keynote presenter in areas of aging, dementia and other topics related to gerontology. Because of her eight years as a caregiver for her husband, her extensive experience in social work and her professional training, she is uniquely qualified to inspire and give hope to others.

First Baptist is located in historic downtown Thomasville at 210 N. Broad St.
