Rev. Stephen Hale, Minister of both the
Methodist churches in Cherokee and Dun-
das Town, was most appreciative of the
very generous gift which this group from
Cypress Lake brought with them for the
church. They donated two projectors and
two projection screens, one of which will

“This went a step well beyond anything
ever expected,” stated Rev. Hale.

“Every year we will bring a gift and
next year we would like to not only do

Vacation Bible School

at Grace Baptist
By Samantha V. Evans

Vacation Bible School began at Grace
Baptist Church on June 25 led by a group
of 42 persons from Flint Groves Baptist
Church in Gastonia, North Carolina, led
by Youth Pastor Rev. Chris Howell. The
group arrived on the island on June 23rd
and split into two groups: one group as-
signed to Grace Baptist in Dundas Town
and the other to Unity Baptist in Treasure

at which time the plans began.

develop some of those positive traits such
as sharing and caring. On June 28 the stu-
dents were presented with certificates of
participation for their involvement in the
program. When the team was not involved
