Border Methodist Church News:
Last Sunday, May %, was great
day in the life of our church. Many
faithful members came with their
conference assessments and others
have given the first part of the
week. Border will have a full re-
port in conference claims. The
church has met and exceeded it's
budget for the year. Many new
members and friends have been
added to our growing church life.
This conference year has been
most productive in self-giving by
the leadership and the members of
the church. Financially, it has been
the banner year and it has been
fruitful in new life among the
faithful and true.
Sunday, June 4, is communion
Sunday and the closing Sunday Of
the conference year. Let US come
and partake of the spiritual life
which Jesus Christ our Lord shares
with US.
