Enrichment Notes

2026-04-23 deep-dive: pbcva.org refuses connection; Wayback returns no snapshots; tested providencebaptist.org / providencebaptistglenallen.org / .com — all ECONNREFUSED. Cannot verify current state. Holding yellow with website_status=dead — listed SBCV affiliation remains the strongest available signal. --- 2026-04-29 V4.9.5 cleanup: address corrected from '4175 Mountain Rd' (which is Glen Allen Baptist, a different BGAV-aligned congregation with a female pastor) to 4956 Dominion Blvd per SBCV directory. pbcva.org still ECONNREFUSED in 2026; congregation listing remains in SBCV but website is down.
