l-TKIMT.SLINA TIKES SAT.; NOVEMBER 28. IMI.v r CHURCH NOTES A.M.E. Lay Organization Honors Church Members the annual observance of Laymen's Day at St. Joseph's AME Church was highlighted by honoring several tayment of the church, including many of the youth leaden. Professor JH. Banks, president of the Virginia ' Conference of he Second Episcopal District, was ' the keynote speaker. His most challenging address was warmly received by the audience during the worship hour, . The local Laymen's Organization, under the leadership of Mrs. Minerva Evans, was in charge of the program. The Laymen chose to honor several ; members of the church for various services to the church. Members honored included Eric Tillman, Dr. Shirley Tillman, Robert John Lewis, Ms. Beth Jackson. Aaron Gilchrist, Mrs. Warnella Wiley, Mrs. Clara Lawson, Lionel! Parker, Mrs. Martha Johnson. Albert Horry and Mrs. Catherine Stan back. Senior Choir Soloists Honored "A recent Sunday morning worship service was further highlighted at St. Joseph's AME Church by the commemoration of the late Mrs. Evelyn Horry Dudley, for whom the choir room is named, and the ackowledgement of three outstanding choir soloists. ' John McClinton, Mrs. Frances Clemons and Mrs. Katie Smith, whose collective years of faithful service total more than ninety, received engraved plaques from the senior choir. McClinton, tenor, has maintained the stalwart voice of reliability in view of both the director and respective section members. He has sung hymns, gospel, contem porary, as well as anthems. Although soloists from any vocal section may be featured, the soprano section of which Mrs. Clemons and Mrs. Smith are members, generally affords the majority of solos. Mrs. Clemons, cur- rentiy on leave from the choir, is remembered for her superb renditions of solos from many hymns and anthems.. Vice president Katie Smith has been a member of the choir over forty years and has been consistently called upon to perform solos from favorite an thems, hymns, gospel and contemporary music. Regarding Mrs. Smith as a "musician's musician," St. Joseph's Senior Choir remains indebted to each of its honorees for an unselfish display of talent, cooperation and unswerving loyalties. In his concluding statement, nonetheless, Presi dent Earl Bobo challenged the honorees to "con tinue to 'sing and rejoice and delight in God."' With Dr. Charles Gilchrist as director, the music of the hour included Mozart's "Gloria in Excelsis" and F.M. Christiansen's arrangement of "Beautiful Savior." Organist Fred Mason, Jr., played Richard Purvis "Fantasia on 'Ton-Y-Botel.'" TT IF TrrniyTTjT"" -'-'5 ) U 1 i; vw i if ' -.- " sA fj i';t t ' "'2 fly 4 'W-r-' ST.
