Dinner-Program Held Ashland PTA Council
At Methodist Church Holds Meeting
Immed.ately following the
morning church service Sunday,
the members and friends of the
church gathered in the dining
room of the church for a covered
dish-dinner program. This was a
program in co-operation with
42,000 other Methodist Churches
throughout the world. It cli­
maxed the close of a week of spe­
cial study and prayer and worship
and special reconsecration. At the
tables, during the dinner hour,
John Billings gave an address on
"The World Program of the
Church." E. X. Kendall spoke on
the subject, "The Church and .the
Home Community.” Miss Cora
Mason presented the subject, "The
Church and Myself.” Miss Voda
Brower gave an address on the
subject, "The Church's Source of
Power.”
The dinner program was well
attended and, judging by the re­
sponse of the people, it is an oc-
casion very worthwhile. Because
of this and other similar programs
and services of dedication, the en-
i
tire church will feel the warmth
and glow of new spiritual power
for some lime to come. Because
of offerings which today were laid
on the altars of Methodism the
missionary progrtim of the church
will be advanced, and countless
souls will be given gospel priv
ileges.
