Special Service at Mt. Zion
On September 20th the officers and
members of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church
will host their first official pastoral
anniversary for Rev. Napoleon Roberts.
It has been some twenty-three years since
the Lord called him to preach the gospel
of Jesus Christ. Since then the Lord has
taken him to levels unimaginable. About
11 years ago he was placed with the
responsibility of full pastoral duties in the
church. During that time the Lord has
given him the vision to build a new
church for these turbulent times. The
church is designed through the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit to reach out to those
who need help both _ spiritually,
physically and mentally. The service will
commence at 3 p.m. at the church.
Wedding Bells Will Ring
Mrs. Naomi Dames requests the
honour of your presence at the marriage
of her daughter Eleanor Anita Dames to

on the 19th of September at 2 p.m. The

Church in Sandy Point and the reception
will follow at the Anglican Parish Hall.

magic fifty. The one and only Bruce
Lightbourne will have a party in his
honour at the Lightbourne’s residence on

Cherokee Sound
By Lee Pinder

The students have by now settled into
a new school year. The principal,
Michelle Lowe, tells me the children will
be participating in Cherokee’s celebration
of the 25th anniversary of Bahamian
Independence on September 19th being a
part of the program. Otherwise, she
assures me it is just work as usual.

Have you visited the Cherokee Post
Office lately? Besides the sampling
display of many old Bahamian stamps
(which you might expect to find in the
Post Office), there is a new display case
containing some old Bahamian money,
that you might find of interest. It was
hoped that both these displays, along
with other pieces of local memorabilia,
could have eventually been put into a
new building that would leave replaced
the old schoolhouse.

However, after years of wishful

thinking by many concerned residents
and other old Cherokee school graduates,
we are afraid it just isn’t going to
happen. It is a shame that the project
never went forward when probably

  

nat

everyone in the community would have
benefitted from it in one way or another.
