Revival Begins At
St. Paul M,ethodist
Church July 28th
The revival services begin at
Saint Paul Methodist Church at
Plum Branch on Sunday morning.
July 28th, at the regular preaching
hour, which is 11:30. The public is
cordially invited to come worsh’p
with us during these days of our
worship and communion with God.
We are asking the prayers of all
the Christian people in the county
to remember us at the Throne of
Grace. McCormick County needs a
spiritual revival ?tnd it will never
have it until the. church people get
a burning passion to know God as
their personal Savior and Lord.
There has never been a time in
the history of our country that the
people needed Jesus Christ more
than they do now. The country
will not know Christ until those
people in the church live in such a
manner that the world will recog
nize them as being children of God.
We will have two services dally.
The time for the morning services
will be announced later. The time
for the evening services will be at
8:15. You are^invited to come and
worship with us. You Need Christ.
