Sunday, November 8th, was a
most memorable day in the annals
of the Houston Methodist Church,
it being the Goth anniversary. The
day began with breakfast at Libby's
cafeteria, sponsored by the MethO-
dist Men and was quite successful.
At 10000 a. m, Sunday School
with 1853 present.
Worship service began at IL a. m,
with the three choirs present and
each gave a special number. The
guest preacher was our own Dover
District Superintendent, Rev. Roy
l.. Tawes. His topic was "And the
Saints shall manage the World"
and he delivered a most wonderful
and enlightening sermon to an au-
dience of 219.
The evening meeting began at
1880 p. m, with song service, led
by Robert H. Yerkes, Sr., with Mrs.
Robert Yerkes acting as pianist.
There was special music by the
choir of the Bethel Methodist
Church, Dagsboro, which was very
beautiful. The guest speaker was
DR.. John A. Trader, pastor of Wes-
ley Church, Dover. He also gave
wonderful sermon to a congrega-
| tion of 189.
A cloud darkened the services
somewhat-the visiting choir had
two numbers and about to have the
third and final song when their
pianist became i'll and the number
had to go unsung. We are very
sorry this happened and do trust
the lady will soon be all right.
Immediately following the SER
vices, "Open House" was held in
the Fellowship Hall and everybody
seemed very happy. We feel sure
the 6Oth anniversary of the church
building, the 10th anniversary of
the first Educational building and
the first anniversary of the new
Educational building and the re-
building of our church, which had
been destroyed by fire, will be re-
membered by all who attended.
Thanks to all who helped make it
such wonderful occasion.
At the open House., our pastor,
Rev. Kirwan was quite surprised
by the singing of Happy Birthday"
and the presentation of a birthday
cake. His birthday was on Friday,
the 9Th, and he thought it had pass
ed without notice. Many ; more
happy birthdays, Rev. Kirwan.
