Sept. ." 1, 1993 Hinton News - 3 C lreek Baptist Church News By Kathy Harris, Reporter Lots of things have been happen- ing during the summer months at the Griffith Creek Baptist Church in Alderson. The Glenna Harris Mis- sion Society and the Mens Fellow- ship had their July and Aug. meet- ings in different areas. July found the groups at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Walthall at Clayton, for cool, refreshing melons, fruit and home made ice cream. These treats were served under the shade trees in • their yard. After the fellowship hour the two groups held their regular meetings. Routine business was carried out followed by Bible Study and prayer. Aug. found the Glenna Harris Mission Society and the Men's Fel- lowship at the Bluestone Marina in Hinton. Melvin and Gall Ryan served as host for the meeting. Grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and trimmings were enjoyed by everyone. After- wards everyone boarded the pon- toon boat for a ride up Bluestone river. The combined meeting was held on the river surrounded by God's beautiful Creations. Pastor and Mrs. Harris had just returned from a week in Winston-Salem, N.C. where they attended the National Sword of the Lord Conference on Revival and Soul winning. The Gospel Light Baptist Church served as host for this national con. ferenco. Pastor Harris and his wife shared the highlights of their trip. Pastor Harris encourage each one to make plans to attend the conference next year to experience this wonder- ful time of Christian Fellowship and Bible preaching. As the sun went down the group made their way back to the dock thankful for the good time that Christian people can enjoy together. A Return to the Di' was held at the Griffith Creek Baptist Church the first week of Aug• Sixty people met at 6:00 p.m. The children lined up behind their teachers and marched into the church. Vacation Bible School songs were sung and the JESUS CHEER echoed down the valley. A time of recreation, re- freshments and Bible study plus a craft time made the two hours pass so quickly. Gospel bracelets were made by everyone under the direc- "t ion of Aleasa Bennett, Roy Waltha]l and Mona Burdette. Black bead represented sin, Red Bead Repre- sented the blood of Jesus, White Bead represented our sins forgiven, mak- ing us white as snow, Yellow repre- sonting heaven where we will live forever with Jesus, and Green rep- resenting growth ,and Eternal Life that we have in Jesus when we are saved. Pastor Harris welcomed Dr. Digger (Kermit Burdette and little Rachel Garcia as "Sniffer'), back to VBS. The children were happy to see their good friend and his little dino. eaur once again. After an action packed two hours everyone loaded up for the return home. Pastor and Mrs. Harris served as hostess for the Jr. Youth for a cook- out and swim party. Seventeen little ones ages ten and under rode home with the preacher for a day of fun. Aleasa Bennett, Bonnie Shepherd, and Lee Ann Gwinn helped during the day. Alot of little tired, happy people made the 45 minute trip back to evening services asking the preacher 'hen can we do it again?" Revival & Homecoming at Low Gap Methodist Church by Dorothy Turman A four-day revival was held at Low Gap Church on Aug. 4,5,6 and 7. The speaker was Rev. Darrell Harem, of the Brooks Baptist Church. Attendance was good, and visiting choirs from the Brooks Church and the Little Wolf Creek Baptist Church helped with the music. Some of the people who can remember how it used to be at Low Gap say that revivals like this used to happen all the time, only with the church full, and folks standing out- side, singing along. Homecoming services were held on Sun., Aug. 8, with the Rev. Harem bringing the message. There were sixty people present. The church is in good shape now, both inside and out, and all those concerned are very proud. This year a new key-board was purchased because the piano is a alittle bit  out of tune. Linda and Kenneth Lowry have.;rel:t]:eok after the key-board and the old song books in their home. Dorse and Eloise Richardson have come up with another old Low Gap Record Book to add to our collection of old memories. Some vintage pic- tures were displayed• The oldest was that of Charles and Amanda Car- son, old-time Low Gap people. Two partial family histories were added. We mourn the deaths of three people who have been called away since our last Homecoming. They are: Roy Young, Mrs. Willie Wood and Mrs• Evelyn Wood.
