A goal of $150,000 has been set for the special offering for the Vil lage, which has announced plans for a $700,000 expansion program that will double the resident ca pacity.

Discussing the ministry of Baptist Village, Rev. Harvey Mitchell, ad ministrator said, “The Village is more than just food and shelter for its residents — it offers them a place of wholesome activity and contentment. It seeks to make the latter years truly the golden years for all who call it home.” “Baptists of Georgia,” he added, “through their prayers and gifts become a part of the vital ministry of Baptist Village. Its growth, its outreach and its care of increased numbers depend largely on Bap tists’ love and generosity.” The new building project of the Village will increase the resident capacity from 56 to 112 and will provide a large central service area, including administration fa cilities, dining rooms and a large kitchen. Plans call for a dormitory unit for 28 persons next to the service area and a third cluster of apart ments for 28 residents near the illage lake. The service area and the dormitory unit will form a double quadrangle and will be located adjacent to the huge oak tree on the Village site.

There are approximately forty or more churches in the county and only a very small percentage of them have furnished the requested data. Won’t you please mail or bring this material to the Herald Office immediately so that we may begin publishing the Directory Page in your county paper?
