• ANNOUNCEMENTS |
O' "—" ——n — u —u —u—u u .<&
THE BLAKELY
BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
Bunday’s morning service will be
unique, in that the pastor will speak
about his experiences as a “Minister
of the Gospel” during thirty-five
years. It was on March 10, 1907,
that he was ordained by the First
Baptist Church at Rome, and he has
been continuously in the work since
that date. The service should be of
unusual interest.
Other announcements for the day,
and the week following are:
Bunday School at 10:45—and it
is hoped that we have gotten ad
justed to the time, and health con
ditions will permit of ALL those
whose names are on, the rolls of the
several classes being present, and
an earnest invitation is given to
everyone else in Blakely, not affiliat
ed with other schools, to join.
Preaching at 12:00 noon. The sub
ject at the evening hour is “What
it Costs Not to Be a Christian.” Many
of our best people seem to think the
Sunday Night service is “not for
them” —DUTY is a big word, and
unless ‘conscience is dead’ our peo
ple must suffer much for failing to
do their duty!
Training Union at 7:00. Mr. Cheek
needs the help of the young folks—
and some older ones.
The Woman’s Missionary Society
meets at 4 :30—the Catherine Bryan
Circle with Mrs. J. B. Rice; Ruth
Ford with Mrs. J. A. Hammack;
Agnes Graham with Mrs. G. M.
Sparks; the Alice Huey with Mrs.
T.O. Whitchard; the Business Wom
en (at 8:30) with Mrs. J. L. Mc-
Arthur; the Y. W. A. (at 8:00) with
with Miss ane Fuqua; and the Sun
beams at the church.
Prayer Meeting at the Pastorium
Wednesday at 8:00.
The R. A. meets at the home of
their Leader, Mrs. Fred Presley,
