Palm Sunday, tomorrow, and
Easter Sunday, next week, will
find many churches, including

VIM will preach special ser

guests, and the annual children's
program. On Easter Morn, $50

sponsored by the Center Girl
Scouts, Miss Veronica Lanier, di-
rector.
For What Do You Stand?"
was the timely topic of the SER
mon last Sunday by Pastor VIM
who is slowly winning the faith
of the entire community. His
down to earth sermons and his
ability to step down off the pull
pit and mingle with his flock who
are i'll and troubled, has won an
increasing renaissance at Shiloh
long needed here and elsewhere.
And one of the supremacy happy
moments of the program last
Sunday featured the guest return
here of Mrs. Georgia Bailey who
sang two beautiful solos. Mrs.
Bailey is always welcome here
for the Christian work she has
rendered. One Of her achieve
ments was the organization of
the Shiloh Ladies Aid Club
which last Sunday had the entire
program dedicated in its honor.
The Club still carrying on with
excellent workers will sponsor a
May Breakfast for Men on May
% at the Church. On each
Thursday evening Choir rehear-
sails are held at Shiloh with the
Junior group meeting at Z pm,
and the Senior Group at 8 pm.
Now with Easter coming, both
Choirs are asking for more and
more singers. Please keep Thurs
night in mind. Everyone is in
vited to volunteer to help swell
our choral groups. The NAACP
drive here will continue until
April 20 with Mr.. Frank Hazel
