25th Anniversary for
Dr. Wesberry
Rev. James Pickett Wesberry. pastor of the Morningside
Baptist Church, was honored Saturday night on the occasion
of his 25th anniversary.
while giving his church priority, has been a great leader
in our Baptist denomination, and has preached the saving
power of Jesus Christ throughout our city, state, nation,
and in many places around the world. His influence has
been used untiringly in every phase of his ministry to point
others to the true way of life.
Through this quarter of a century our Pastor’s beloved
wife, Sue. has freely and unselfishly given of her talents
and services wherever and whenever needed. Her beautiful
smile, radiance of spirit, and devotion to our entire mem
bership have been sources of great strength and inspiration
for which we, too* thank God.
As we begin our Twenty-sixth year as Pastor and People,
we dedicate our hearts and hands anew to the tasks and
challenges of the future, “being confident of this very
thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will
perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
We salute our Pastor and his wife on this significant an
niversary with our love and prayers for God’s guidance as
they lead us to greater achievements for Christ in the years
ahead.

recently announced that con
struction has begun on their
new expansion in Morrow. Lo
cated at the corner of Morrow

facility will be built by Pea
cock Brothers Construction
Company, also of Morrow.
The building will be of
modern design constructed of
light beige brick. Designed by
Mr. Dickson’s son. Abb Dick
son, the building and interior
will reflect a clean, modern
style. Consisting of twenty-two
rooms with complete chapel,
the 12,000 square foot build
ing will be furnished through
out in Spanish decor, com
pletely carpeted and air con
ditioned. Mr. Dickson ex
plained that the building will
be large enough to serve the
needs of the citizens of Clay
ton County for many years to
come, filling a much needed
gap for the central county area.
Dickson Funeral Home has
been established in Jonesboro,
for the past twenty-five years.
Mr. Dickson explains that the
organization will maintain both
operations, in Jonesboro and
Morrow in order to provide
better service for all Clayton
County residents. “Located
only two miles from the new
Clayton County Hospital, the
site in Morrow is one that is
centrally located in the county.
We should continue to be able
to serve the people of Morrow,
Forest Park, Riverdale, and
Jonesboro quite adequately,”
Mr. Dickson said.

Fayette County, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Lester Dickson,
