The Highly-Second Annual Session of
he Lumber River Conference of Ihe
Holiness Methodist Church held at*
Riverside Holiness Methodist Memorial
Church November 12. 13. 14.1982 is no*
ilstory.
These annual sessiorui are the invol
vement of eiftht chutvhes. primarily
if Indian origin scattered over Robeson
County and one church in adjoining Hoke
County may carry a lot more Importance
in the total human behavior patterns in
Robeson County than one might believe.
Dvct the years, our people generally
have a connection with some of our
churches around in the area. This ehunrh
conference was organized in 1900 at what
is now known as Union Chapel Church
We will discuss the origin in * hiturr
article of a series of articles, but foe nam
are would like to share with Ihe reading
audience tome of fhe meat recent
rvents happening in and around the
people of the Lumber River Conference.
' Hf||? v. V i;' *f- ' <' -
The host church w here the conference
is hold annually for the past eighty-two
years, always make good preparation
for a convenient place to hold the
conference as well as handling in a good
way all the details of feeding the
members and all the congregation, h is
astounding how ail the smaller churches
in the conference organise their people in I
handling all the details of feeding
andmaking the group feel so welcome
while visiting their church.
In recent years, we have had several
new denominations of faith to enter one
communities, but by and large (he two
main ones have been and still are
Methodist and Baptist that lead in
numbers in Robeson County. WJ?8e the
Baptist and new ftmnmiaailsan of the
area have grown in numbers over the
viccic? ro my loovt ific iimf siif.
