Quotations
from Church Members:
On growing
up in the church: My parents were very religious people, so I
was raised in an environment where it was church and that was
it. We weren't subject to the things that children are used to
doing today. I attended Sunday school, morning services, and Bible
training for youth. There was no way I could have gone to a movie
when something was going on in church. That is where I had to
go. But that is the thing I enjoyed. I looked forward to it. As
I became older and went away to school, I strayed from that. I
was on my own. We were having fun. But then as I grew even older
and knew the way I was raised, and then realizing who was blessing
me and making me to do and have and carry on, I realized that
I needed God in my life. -Sister T.R., 65 years old
