PILGRIM BAPTIST

Our morning worship began with
the baptism of little Linda Duke
who has accepted Christ, and unit
ed with the church. We had many
visiting friends and relatives of

were especially happy to welcome
DR.. M c. Curry President of Bis
hop College, Marshall, Texas.
DR.. Massey spoke on the topic,
Freedom Then And Now. His
text was from John 17:11. He
spoke of the continuing struggle
for freedom and equality which is
being waged by peoples throughout
the world. He commended the Ne
gro youth of America for the i'm
portant role they are playing in
the fight for equality, and re-
minded us that no matter what
socio economic pressures are
brought to bear on the opponents
of freedom, the battle can never
be completely won until men have
experienced change within their
hearts.
The church received Mrs. Avis
Swanigan into membership, and
the services were closed with the
Ordinance of Communion.
Next Sunday, July 10, is Men s
Day. All men are urged to be
present for the morning service,
and to return to Phalen Park with
family and friends for the annual
Church Picnic. Messrs. James
Brown and John Hartsfield are CO.
Chairmen. The speaker for the
morning service will be DR.. Mar
Gus Alexis.
