New Church In Tucson, Arizona
Four families, consisting of twelve members of the Lord's church, started meeting together as a congregation last July. Since that time four families, consisting also of twelve members, have identified themselves with us. These twenty-four Christians have labored together in peace and love, and the labor has not been in vain. Three have been baptized. And by the time this notice appears in print we hope to be meeting in our own building.
Since the congregation started we have been meeting in one of the public school buildings here in Tucson. But that necessity will soon end. Our contributions from the very beginning of the work have averaged about $400.00 per month, and with this as a basis, we were able to secure a $20,000.00 building loan. With much donated work by the various members we have constructed a neat little brick building, which will seat approximately 125 people, and which has adequate class-rooms and other facilities.
Whenever you are in Tucson you are cordially invited to stop and worship with us. Address of our new building is 2145 South Sahuara Avenue (at the intersection of East 32nd Street and South Sahuara).
— Gale Cummings, 4719 E. Scarlett St., Tucson, Ariz.
E. Paul Price, P.O. Box 15, San Saba, Texas. This is my first report in over a year to any of the papers. Since moving to San Saba, we have enjoyed meetings with brethren Bryan Vinson, Sr., Bob Bolton and Hoyt Houchen. On April 21st of this year we closed our second good meeting with Bryan Vinson, Sr. Any church desiring a good meeting, with sound gospel preaching would do well to contact brother Vinson. In August, we anticipate having brother Vernon Ripley with us.
The church here being unable to support me fully, I have been working at a funeral home 45 to 60 hours a week in addition to my duties as a preacher of the gospel. If anyone reading this can or knows of anyone who might relieve this situation, I would be eternally grateful.
We have had four to join hands with us in this place in little over half a year. Peace exists, and it is our prayer that it will continue. When traveling this way, worship with us.
Frank Thompson, 305 W. Castle, Hobbs, New Mexico: On Sunday, May 5th, we closed a seven day meeting with W. E. (Bud) Irvine of Odessa, Texas, doing the preaching. The attendance and interest were good. The lessons were plain, straight forward, and in harmony with God's Word. The congregation was edified and strengthened in the Truth. Three were baptized and one placed membership with us. This makes a total of six baptisms in the past month — three others having been baptized in the two weeks preceding the meeting.
When in Hobbs, worship with us at Southside, 1720 So. Turner St.
Sickness! Sadness! C. D. Plum
1. Our daughter is too sick to stay alone. My wife must be with her. My wife, Russell, and I cannot continue to live apart.
2. We must complete a large room on my son-in-law's house, and move in, storing the rest of our furniture, by July 1, 1963. We have no choice.
3. Also, we must make application for Social Security in January 1964. Again, we have no choice.
4. We must cancel our promise to labor at Elizabeth. W. Va., beginning July 1, 1963. Elizabeth understood from the beginning this might have to be done because of sickness.
Intending to move to Elizabeth July 1, 1963, I only engaged the following meetings definitely for the last six months of 1963: Elyria, Ohio, Sept. 1-11; Uhricksvile, Ohio, Sept. 29 to Oct. 4; Akron, Ohio, (S. E.) Oct. 27 to Nov. 6.
So, I need more meetings, and over Lord's day appointments, to fill in the twenty-one unpromised Lord's days in the last half of 1963. I am at the mercy of God, Jesus, and the brethren. Expenses are heavy.
Until July 1, 1963, address me: Paden City, W. Va.
After July 1, 1963, address me: Route 3, Box 135, Corapolls, Pa., %Carl W. Parsons.
