ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE BLAKELY
BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
Last Sunday was like a “Rally
Day” in our church. How fine it
■would be if we could “keep on keep
ing on”—large numbers (it was 222
at Sunday School and 162 at the
preaching service) present, and good
interest manifested.
Our meeting is just two weeks off.
See the special announcement in the
church BULLETIN Sunday regard
ing the preliminary services. Be
praying much, and talking with the
friends about attending. Make no
plans which would conflict with any
service.
It has been decided that the morn
ing service will be held at B:3o—the
time our little folk start school. It
will be easier for all our people
(other than school folk, and we will
plan to have them at the night serv
ices) to attend at that time than any
other morning hour. This service
will last only forty-five minutes.
For next Sunday the pastor speaks
at eleven on “Tongues of Fire” and
at night on “The First Sermon.”
Both messages will be based on
Acts. Chapter Two.
Remember, Sunday School at
9:45. Until our Annex can be built,
our Young Men’s Bible Class will
meet in the Masonic Hall, close and
convenient, a splendid meeting place,
for which we are thankful.
On Monday the Woman’s Mission
ary Society meets at the church, the
Sunbeams meet in their room—both
at 3:30.
Wednesday night, mid-week Pray
er Service at 8:00.
