To Our Church
Members And
Friends
We are grateful for the fact
that our last Annual Conference
saw fit to appoint us to this
pastorate. We are glad that we
have the privilege of working
into the citizenship of this great
historic town.
The Methodist Church has a
glorious record in Bastrop. We
hope we might be the instru-
ments through Christ in leading
the Church forward in its task.
You as a Church have been more
than cordial in your welcome
to us and the people as a whole
have been gracious in receiving
us into your fellowship.
We extend to all of our mem-
bership and to the community
at large a wish for a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New
Year.
The Rev. and Mrs. Fred
P. Bishop.
Calvary Episcopal

Xmas Services
The Christmas season in Cal
vary Episcopal Church will be
observed by the traditional mid-
night celebration of the Holy
Communion at 11:30 P. M.
Christmas Eve and a second

10:30 o'clock Christmas Morning.
Children of the Sunday School

The Rev. R. Scott Copeland,

Special music is being pre-

on Christmas eve. It is expected
that the organ will be augmen-

Christmas tree party of the Sun-
day School, will be the singing
of the familiar Christmas carols
by the combined Junior Choirs
