“BILLY STOREY DAY”
OBSERVED AT
BLAKELY
The Rev. and Mrs. Billy
Storey have accepted the pas
torate of the First Baptist
Church in Leary where the
family will be moving soon.
On Sunday, September 13th
the First Baptist Church in
Blakely proclaimed the day
“Billy Storey Day” when the
Baptist there and in sur
rounding communities gather
ed to pay a deserving tribute
to their departing pastor for
the wonderful nineteen years
of Christian service he has
rendered to Blakely, Early
County and the surrounding
iareas. Other denominations
joined in the tribute also.
| Quoting from the Early
News, “Billy Storey
and his gracious wife, Vera,
and lovely twin daughters,
Anne and Annette, have en
deared themselves to hund
reds during their stay in
'Blakely. He probably lives and
emulates the life of Christ as
nearly as any human being
can, and we are going to miss
this comforting personal reli
gion that this man of God
has been disbursing in Blake
ly for nearly twenty years.
“He has performed approx
imately 203 weddings, con
ducted 716 funerals, and
brought 032 new members
into the church. He has seen
the BTU enrollment grow
from 45 to 181, the Sunday
School from 390 to 755, and
the residential membership
leap from 374 to 630.
“During his pastorate he
has built a new educational
building, a new pastorium and
had the church auditorium
renovated. He organized a
new Baptist church (South
side), ordained three minist
ers, served as moderator of
the Bethel association and the
executive committee, and as a
member of the budgeLeom
mittee of the Georgia Baptist
Convention.
“No wonder he has suffer
ed two heart attack,” the
News commented.
Brother Storey, as he is af
fectionately known, is a form
er resident of Donalsonville,
where he came to teach school:
for several years following hjg
graduation from college, and
to minister to the Baptist
'church here.
