PILGRIM CHURCH NEWS
Sunday June 6, was Communion Sun
day as well as Founders Day at Pill
| grim which meant that the services
were full and enriching. The pulpit
/ was decorated with flowers from the
following persons: Mrs. A. Crump, Mr..
and Mrs. John Claibourne. Mr.. and
Mrs Eugene Wills, Mr.. and Mrs. J. M.
Dorsey Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. Baines and
Brooks Funeral Home. Ferns were
boy and palms were donated by Posey
Floral Shop. Music was supplied by the
three singing groups Of the Church.
Rev. Massey preceded the guest
speaker with a few remarks both as
explanation of Founders Day and as
introduction of Rev. W. IL Mckinney
from Antioch Baptist Church in Cleve-
land, Ohio. In his statement Rev. Mas
sey explained that although a group OF
people first met in 1863 as a Sunday
School, Pilgrim Church was not organ
lied until 1866 under the leadership OF
Rev. Hickman. The name of Pilgrim
was selected because the group had
travelled from the land where they had
known slavery to a land of new OPP
portunity.
Following these brief remarks Rev
Mckinney delivered the Founders Day
Message. His sermon was titled when
Life Breaks Down What Are You Going
to Do2" During the explanation of this
title Rev. Mckinney pointed out that
what an individual does depends on
what his anchorage in life is.
The scripture lesson for the evening
service was taken from Rev. 2:l8-29
and the sermon was titled Johns Mes
sage to the Church" The premise upon
which Rev. Mckinney elaborated was
that which he have already hold fast
till / come" Johns message was divi-
ded into four parts: God lives; 2
There must be no compromise in His
Church with sin: 3-Hold to a regener-
ate membership; 4-Wavering Chris
tians should endure and wait upon God
