Sunday School Attendance .161
Training Service attendance 50
Due to the rain and perhaps
other things, our attendance in
Sunday School was lower than
last Sunday, in fact we had 06
absent from our classes which
made our percentage look very
small. If we possibly can we
re going to try to increase our
attendance by contacting those
who are not coming regularly
and prevail upon them to come.
Calvary Baptist Church needs
them and they need us.
It u is our joy to have several
visitors m our services and their
pri sences was appreciated very
much. If we can be of service
to them or to anyone else we
will be happy to have the op-
portunity to help.
We are expecting a large
group to attend the County BTS
meeting that will be held with
the Eighth Ave. Baptist Church
of Teague next Sunday after-
noon. A group from our church
will met at the church building
at 2:00 and will provide ways
ior those who want to go. Those
interested should be ready by
2:00. Vistiors are welcome.
We are sorry that we will not
get to attend the 5th Sunday
meeting which is to be held at
Luna Church due to the fact
ihat the services are on Sunday
and we must fulfill our duties
here in our regular services. We
hope all will go that can and we
with this church and pastor.
Don’t forget that you have a
standing invitation to visit in
all of our services. Visitors are
appreciated.
