YWA Members of Porterdale Baptist
Church Observed Focus Week
PORTERDALE — YWA
members of the Porterdale Bap
tist Church spent a busy, happy
week observing Focus Week,
February 8-13. On Sunday, the
group sat in a particular sec
tion of the sanctuary and par
ticipated in the morning wor
ship service by receiving the
offering. That afternoon, Misses
Sandra Whitfield and Jo Ann
Kitchens, members, with Mr.
and Mrs. W. T. Preston, visited
Newton Manor in Covington
and Miss Kitchens taught the
Sunday School lesson to the
patients there. :
A visit to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. S. T. Gattis was a de
light and inspiration for mem
bers and their counselor, Mrs.
W. T. Preston, on Monday even
ing. The girls’ president, Miss
Clara Durden, led the devotion
al, choosing secripture from the
Psalms and the group present
ed fruit to these shut-in friends.
ers. Gattis delighted them in
return with delicious refresh
lments.
Miss Margie Wilson was hos
tess to her group on Tuesday
evening at her home on Pine
Street. Their regular monthly
‘meeting and program were en
joyed at this time.
~ Prayer Meeting for the en
‘tire congregation was conduct
ed by the YWA members on
Wednesday evening. The Rev.
Walter P. Perry, Jr. led the
prayer period at the begin
ning of the service and this
was followed with the congre-
Igational singing of the YWA
hymn, “O Zion Haste”. Mrs.
James Head, Director of the
YWA, led in prayer. Miss Jo
Ann Kitchens gave the YWA
Dedication, and Miss Sandra
Whitfield spoke of YWA high
lights which included the areas
of service, history, and future
plans Os particular interest was
the revelation of their Com
munity Missions projects each
month which either remember
shut-in or indigent friends with
fruit, flowers, groceries, or per
tinent gifts at which time they
also have a devotional with the
friends being remembered.
To highlight the meeting, the
presentation of a Bible to bride
elect member, Miss -Lorna El
kins, concluded the survice. For
this occasion, the rostrum was
' decorated with a candelabra
holding seven different colored
}mpe'rs entwined with ivy
tendrils and flanked by
two larger white candles. A
fireplace in the center just back
of the candles completed the
setting for the impressive cer
emony. Miss Elkins stood near
‘the fireplace throughout the
presentation service. Miss Clara
Durden spoke very fittingly of
‘the significance of the fireplace
or “hearthstone” in building a
home and encouraged her to
build together with her chosen
mate, Tom Banks, for peace,
happiness, and lasting joy to
share with all whom they would
contact in future days. Mrs.
Claude Madden sang “Rless
This House” accompanied by
Miss Jordve Tanner.
Mrs. Preston, counselor, then
emphasized the qualities of
purity and love symbolized by
the white of the decorations and
green (another YWA color)
which represented growth. Each
member then marched and took
her place in a semicircle about
the honored member. It was a
beautiful sicht to see each young
lady dressed alike in black
skirt and white choir robe
holding a lighted taper whose
light was received from the
