should be concerned with the
whole of mankind as we look into
the future.’’

the campaign is to bring many
of the unchurched in the com

The Campaign which began this
past Sunday will continue for the
next four weeks states Mrs. Helen

drive. The activities which are
a project of the Sunday School
Department will climax on Sun

levels of those attending church.
This past Sunday was Rally Day
with the emphasis upon those
falling between the ages of birth
to 12 years- This next Sunday
will see teens and twenties stres
sed and will be entitled T ’n T
Sunday. Following this will be
ACTS (Adults Challenged To
Step-up) Sunday and then GAS
or Golden Age Sunday. Victory
Sunday will be called Pal Day
with each member of the Sunday
School encouraged to bring a
friend to Sunday School.
Throughout the campaign those
whose efforts are superior will
receive special commendations.
Those who have received such
thus far are Mr. Alvan Day
and Mrs. J. N. Barnes. The
final week of the campaign will
close with a special church din
ner following the morning ser
vices on November 9, 1969. The
