BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
One week from next Sunday our
meeting starts. The evening service
will begin at 8:30 each night, Satur
day included. The time for the
morning service is not yet fixed. Our
custom—and we find it the most sat
isfactory—is to begin the morning
service one hour before the time
for school to begin, and stay within
forty-five minutes, giving teachers
and pupils fifteen minutes to get to
their rooms; and we shall hold to
that time this year also, but we un
derstand there is a possibility of a
change in the opening hour of school
and will make definite announcement
when that has been decided. This
early hour seems to suit our people
better than any other time. Teachers
and pupils appreciate the privilege
of stopping by on their way to their
classes; housewives find it the most
convenient time for a day service
and business men find it an easy
matter to hear the short sermon be
fore they embark on the day’s work.
Let us be active in getting our
friends and neighbors to promise to
attend the meeting, and making our
plans that we shall not miss a single
service. Rev. H. B. (‘Shep’) Shep
herd comes to us from New Orleans
and will have charge from the first
sermon Sunday morning, May 10. Be
praying for a great REVIVAL.
Announcements for this week in
clude: Sunday School at 10:45 Sun
day morning; at 12:00 noon, the pas
tor speaks on “The Completing
Christ;” Training Union at 7:30; the
evening service, at 8:30, the pastor
again preaches on “Conditions of a
Revival.” Monday afternoon at 4:30
the W. M. S. meets at the church,
the Sunbeams in their room at the
same hour. Tuesday just after
school the Intermediate G. A. meets
with Miss Ruth Ann George; Wed
nesday evening at 8:30, the last in
the series of studies on “Winning
Others to Christ.” taught this week
by Mr. J. L. Underwood.
