TIIK BASTROP ADVERTISER
Smith ville Baptist Church
to dedicate new home
Page 1$
■V ;f*. • - if.
The congregation of the
First Baptist Church of
Smithville will celebrate the
dedication of a new facility
April 20, according to Clay
McKee, Chairman of the
Publicity Committee.
The services will begin
Sunday at 2 p.m. in the new
sanctuary located at the
corner of Hudgins and East
Third. Holland Smith, the
Baptist Associations! Mis-
sionary, will conduct the
A-'
proceedings. Rev. Hollas
Hoffman, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, will deliver
the dedication sermon.
The congregation and
Reverend Hoffman have
issued an open invitation for
the public to attend the
services.
Adam Bliss designed, and
Louis Gaeke built the $500,
000 structure. The build-
ing took ten months to
construct. Ground breaking
ceremonies were held on
June 3, 1979. A substantial
contribution from the Mae
Rosanky Churchill estate
made construction possible.
Colonial in design, the
building features striking
columns and a clean-lined
exterior. The' building is
designed to be efficient and
easily maintained.
Sunday School classrooms,
a library, office space, and
the pastor’s study are
included in the building.
Accessibility is improved by
its ground level design.
The pulpit dominates the
red, white and earth-tone
sanctuary. The hearing
impaired worshiper is aided
by head phones operated
from a control room.
The two original brick
structures have been exten-
sively renovated. Basement
facilities refurbished into a
Fellowship Hall give im-
proved service for more
social church events.

Smithville’s new First Baptist Church just off Highway 71 on Hudgins street will be

I The Chamber of Com
^merce Banquet is over and
everyone expressed the
feeling that it was one of the
best we’ve had...
Charles Herring brought
an interesting talk on the
mining of the coal and why
our electricity has become so
high due to the inflation and
the terrific expense to the
LCRA. He also explained
how the coal would be mined
without destroying the envi
ronment.
The Chamber wishes to
express its appreciation to
j all who purchased tickets
} and to those who attended.
J The Social Hour at Fine
J Forest was its usual very
,v special affair. It is wonderful
to have such a lovely place to
hold a party and our special
thanks to Artie Revel who so
graciously offered her servi
res. Our extra special thanks
to that wonderful 4 H group
and the leaders.
My sympathy certainly
went out to ^he people of
Smithville who worked so
hard to make the Jamboree a
roaring sucess...seems that
the weather never realizes
that it is supposed to
cooperate. I thought the
parade was very good for the
awful weather. The girls
riding the floats were
freezing and the horses
were skittish, but it all
turned out well, and we hope
we will be asked again next
year. The food was good and
I got to see many friends
that I hadn't seen in years.
Got to see Sissy and Dare
Platt and children who had
come home from Tennessee.
They didn't know that it was
years...
Many Bastrop people were
on the street for the parade
and the Bastrop Shrine Club
was well represented in the
Ben Hur group from Austin.
The Shrine units always
make a parade as they have
a parade of their own...
COLD WORK
Niether rain or storm,
sleet or snow can keep the
American Legion Boys in-
side when they have made
their plans to complete some
work which is needed at the
Legion. Saturday morning in
all the wind and cold they
were out building the
bandstand getting ready for
the dedication dance. Seems
that it always is the older
men who are doing the work,
or so it was on this particular
morning.
Believe me, it was cold
because I was out there
working on the float, trying
to repair the corners of the
cover before going to the
Smithville Parade. Carroll
Burnes, Bobby Lively and
othecs ware engineering the
project. As they didn’t need
a 'sidewalk superintendent’ I
didn't hang around...
Mark April 17th on your
calendar because that is the
day that there will be ‘big
doings' at the Legion when it
will be your opportunity to
meet the young man who is
running for job of serving as
your Representative. Robert
Saunders, a local Smithville
boy, will be out there to talk
with you and shake your
hand and ask for your
support. Go out and meet
this young man so that you
will be qualified to make a
decision on your choice...
April 19th is also the night
of the bid dance at the
Jamboree time, but were
glad that ’Spring Break’ was American Legion. The Blue
at this particular time. If Diamonds will furnish the
you Remember Cissy was music and dancing will begin
j.'drum major for Smithville at 8:30. Go out and have
5 High School for a number of yourself a good time..._
