was able 10 look back with
pride at its first full year UNI
der the administration of its
new pastor, Rev. r. B. Brown.
Thursday. December 81. in the
final church conference of
1859.
The governing board, com
posed of deaeons, trustees. and
the pastor, met i'm its final
meeting at $50 p. m. and pre-
pared reports and recommen-
dations for the general church
conference, which began at
7::30. During the general con-
ference annual reports of the
various auXiliaries and special
committees were made.
The main reason for the
church's jubilation stems from
the fact that it successfully
financed the largest budget
nearly doubt that of the pre-
vlouS year = in the history of
the church to support the pas
tors program of expansion. A
successful week-long revival
and a considerable increase in
the membership of both the
church and Sunday school pro-
vided further reasons for feel
Ing proud of a year we'll spent.
1860 Plans Adopted
Reverend Brown said he was
quite pleased with the way the
church accepted his recon-
mendations for 1860. There
was not a dissenting vote to
his 1860 threepoint proposal,
namely: increase of the 1860
budget, use of parsonage as
educational building, Initiating
building-fund drive.
Other recommendations for
the continued progress of the
church were adopted, but the
ones mentioned above claim
ed major interest. So deter
mined is the pastor to develop
a church program that will APP
peal to all age-groups that he
has already vacated his par
sonage to provide more room
for Sunday school and other
church activities.
Another adopted proposal.
