Page B6-The Chronicle, Thursday, May 17, 1984 Focus On Religion iiuvi u^iiuuiiiiaiiuii By AUDREY L. WILLIAMS Chronicle Staff Writer In an attempt to unite church youth, Vernessa Benson and Shedrick Adams, both members at First Baptist Church, informally organized softball games for youngsters of all ages last summer. The result was six games and a lot of fun for the youth. In the past few weeks, Benson, Adams, Elizabeth fc^fc^^^Brown of Morning Star Baptist Church, Parthenia . G&ttewayv Fvnlftnn C.l.ayh<Mi.'Mi|.l|cfiiift?;g^(T""iii tgomery, Barbara Clark, Celestine Morris, James Lewis and Priscilla Dalton have all worked together to organize the Interdenominational Youth Fellowship Athletic League. Their efforts, now in the planning stages, will be put to the test June 2, when the first ball of the season is pitched. "This is no great missionary effort,*' says Adams, "but it's basically to organize some activity outside school and outside the City Recreation Department because they can't do it all." The idea to organize a structured softball league that would extend invitations to area churches to join them came at the suggestion of Galloway and Brown, savs Adams. However, the initial idea of gathering the youth for summer activity was the brainchild of Benson, youth director at First Baptist. "I found a need for our youth to be associated with other religious groups of the city,'* she says. "We saw that some of the children didn't have the opportunity to play little league or they just weren't interested."
