METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Paul L. Grove, Minister.
A new departure in our morning
service is to be undertaken next Sun
day morning. This is nothing other
than a Combination Church and Sum
day School, in which union we hope to
economize in time and to make it easi-
er for the rank and file of our people
to attend both. The regular Church
service, somewhat abbreviated, will
serve as preliminary devotions for the
Sunday School. At 11:45, during the
organ postlude, the classes will i'm
mediately convene for their regular
class study of the lesson. AT 1915
all will assemble in the main audi
torium for snappy short program, in
the hands of circulating committee;
at 1890 the Sunday School will be
dismissed. The Sunday School Board
unanimously adopted this new plan
with enthusiasm. 1t remains to be
seen whether it will be helpful to both
Church and Sunday School. Certainly
those who have complained about the
great amount of time involved should
demonstrate their approval by rallying
to this new plan, to be carried on the
year round.
Last Thursday night witnessed the
best prayer meeting of this Confer
ence year. We urge upon you to-
"taste and see that it is good" Better
late than never.
Next Sunday morning we shall seek
to draw upon the festive spirit OF
Christmastide, both in worship by song
and by sermon. The subject will be;
Crossing That Cap. Who could
stay at home on Christmas Sunday?
In the evening, the children of the
Sunday School will come into their
own, and in the good old-fashioned
way, will delight the hearts of their
parents, their friends, their teachers
by appropriating the center Of the
stage. There is no way SO effective in
renewing our youth and stirring up
brilliantly colored memories of the
past, than by viewing the Sunday
School children in their Christmas
activities. You will not regret COM
ing The New Avon Sunday School
will have their Christmas tree pro-
gram next Sunday afternoon at $3.50
