nonprofit philanthropy’s impact is
greatly needed now more that ever

assistance,communitydevelopment

Drummers from the Greenbrier Academy for Girls will lead the Christmas
Walk. ‘
Drummers to lead Christmas Walk on Dec. 10 t
On Saturday, Dec. 10 starting at
6 p.m., people are invited to walk
through the historic streets and
churches of Hinton, and hear again
the Christmas story.
Hundreds of luminaries light the
path that winds through the town.
Walkers will be led by the drum
corps from Greenbrier Academy for
Girls.
The night starts at 6 p.m. at First
Baptist Church. It is located at 108
Temple Street, sitting up on the hill
as-vyeu come into town crossing the
New River Bridge. It was organized
in 1894 and the present church was
dedicated in 1913, 103 years ago.
Following the luminaries
around the corner. we will come
to the Ministry Place, which was
established in 2009. It is the newest
church on the tour, open daily for
prayer, fellowship and teaching.
Next, we will walk to St.
Patrick’s Catholic Church, which
was organized in 1874. It originally
served the Irish immigrants who
worked on the railroad. Its tall
spire rises 66 feet into the sky.
From there we will walk to
Ascension Episcopal Church. The
first church building was completed
in 1881, but destroyed in a fire six
years later. It was rebuilt and then
moved two blocks down the street.
The luminaries then lead to the
First United Methodist Church.
The lot for the first building was
purchased for $30.00 in 1882. The
present building was completed in
1896. i
The New Hope Church of the
Nazarene, actively involved in
community outreach, is located
at 1391 Temple Street. Their
minister will be talking at the First
Presbyterian Church, so you don’t
have to walk those extra 16 blocks!
The last segment of the tour
is by the First Presbyterian
Church. Their present building
was completed in 1922. During
remodeling in 1966, the entire
sanctuary was turned around.
Interestingly,theFirstMethodist,
along with the Presbyterian,
Episcopal, Baptist and Brooklyn
Methodist were all formed around
1872, holding, services together
and rotating ministers. Tonight we
honor that togetherness as we join
together in faith.
Each church will present a
piece of the nativity story and a
short program. After visiting the
churches, we will gather in the
basement of the First Presbyterian
Church for hot drinks, snacks,
drumming and visiting.
The night is organized through
the cooperation of the churches of
downtown Hinton and sponsored by
Just Christians. Just Christians is
an ecumenical group of pastors and
lay people. All are invited to work
with us. For more information call
Nancy at 304.860.9446.
The event is free and everyone is
invited. We hope you can join us for
this night of beauty, mystery and
awe.
Wednesday Club Christmas Boxes
Since 1993 the Wednesday Club
of Hinton have placed fifty— three
flower boxes on the streets of Hinton
as their Community Improvement
Project.
Each May a committee of women
meet to plant flowers for the summer
season. And each November they
prepare boxes of red bows and
greenery for the holiday season.
Currently, club member Donna
Pivont of Hinton Floral provides
space for the work.
The specially-designed wrought
iron boxes, produced by Lloyd
Enoch of Mountain Metal Works,
were purchased by community
members, businesses and the city
of Hinton as memorials to deceased
family members and friends.
Twelve boxes bear the names of
former mayors.
The club also maintains the
flower bed in front of the Hinton
Post Office.
On November 19 those pictured
in the above photo gathered to
prepare this year holiday boses.
They were assisted this year by
three Service Club members: Cleo
Mathews, Betty Giles, and Vicky
McIntyre.
All of this would not be possible
without the help of Jim Bowling
who picks up and delivers these 53
boxes several times a year.
