Here and There
We were unable to get a picture of the presentation to Paul Lawrence on the day it was presented, so we want you to know that this picture of him receiving the plaque from me with the other elders behind us is a token of our love and affection for him. While eternity will reveal the ultimate benefits the church received from his leadership, we who have served under him and with him can testify to our own benefits from his role as an elder in the Jefferson Boulevard church, not to mention those of you who were fortunate enough to have served under him at the Edgefield church. We look forward to his continuing role as Bible class teacher, fellow member of this church and the continuing wisdom we shall gleam from his presence. Thank you, Paul Lawrence for the great service you rendered the Lord’s church for 41 years.

This afternoon at the 5:00 p.m. service, we will be privileged to hear from Helen Jones’ favorite preacher, her son, Karl Jones. It seems that he has an occassional Sunday evening away from the congregation in Burleson and we prevailed upon him to speak for us the next time he was available. That turns out to be this afternoon, please come and hear a great message from God’s Word.

The Banner advertising our “Friendspeak” program has been ordered and we will have it up out front of our building as soon as it is ready. The sign company said that it might take 10 days to 2 weeks for it to be ready. In the meantime, keep up your review of the textbook on Luke and be prepared to get underway just as soon as we have students.

The Ladies and Mens bible classes will conclude their studies on Tuesday of this week and resume in the fall. The date in September will be announced later.

Mack Lyon’s lesson for May 27 will be “Jesus and the Lost” Join him for that lesson on Channel 27, KDFI-TV at 7:00 a.m.
I mentioned another excellent program with Eddie Parish on channel 57, but I’m not sure that channel number is correct. You can check your newspaper listings and find his name. You will be amply rewarded for your efforts. His program does come on at 7:30 a.m. each Sunday morning.
