Youth Crusade
in September
More than 50 young people
and youth sponsors met to begin
organizing for the “New
Beginning” Youth Crusade to
be held in the City Park, Sept.
15-21, 1975. The meeting was
held at Second Baptist Church
with representatives from 20
churches in the Griffin area.
For several months the
Greater Griffin Area Minis
terial Association has
recognized the need for an in
tensified evangelistic outreach
effort for young people. Sun
day’s meeting was the formal
appointing of people on the
Crusade Committee.
The September services are
projected as being informal,
out-of-doors, and with lively
music led by Ramsey Hall and
the Solid Rock Singers. The
Rev. Jimmy Johnson, a nation
ally known youth evangelist
from Lemon Grove, Calif., will
speak each evening. Toney
Jones of the Griffin Youth
Ranch will serve as master of
ceremonies.
One committee reported on
suggested preparation, promo
tion, and publicity. Another
committee related the
financial needs for such a
crusade and suggested away of
securing the financial commit
ment of churches in the Griffin
area.
The next crusade organiza
tion meeting will be held May
18, 2:30 p.m. at Second Baptist
Church.
All churches were en
couraged to send two youth
representatives to this meeting.
