The congregation of the M. E.
church gave us a very pleasant
surprise last Lord’s day evening
by setting aside their evening
service and joining with us. We
were benefited by their action
and feel that such a spirit adds
greatly to the life of a church as
well as to the community.
N ext Lord’s day we will con
duct a Rally Day service in both
the church a n d Bible school.
This will be an all-day service;
Bible school at 10 A. M. and
preaching at eleven o’clock, in
termission for dinner ai d social
time. Preaching again at three
o’clock in the afternoon and at
eight in the evening. Special
music at all services.
A chicken dinner will be served
at noon to which all are most cor
dially invited. This means that
every body, whether you are a
member of the congregation or
not. is asked to come and join
with us. Eat, drink and be so-
• viable.
