I Grace honors the Venables
sn CI U rOTHE CHRONK I ?
Sunday, July 20, was a
delightful day at Grace Pres
byterian Church.
The occasion was the
annual Family Sunday spon
sored by the couples ministry
and other auxiliaries of the
church. The day began with
church school and proceeded
to morning worship with a
number of church families and
friends among the gathered
community. Worship began
with a selection by an instru
mental ensemble made up of
Grace youths and directed by
Rudolph Boone. The Couples
Choir led the congregation in
singing, including a duet by
Rev. Samuel and Mable
Stevenson.
Morning worship was fol
lowed by a picnic on the
grounds of the church. It was a
celebrative occasion for all in
attendance.
It is the practice of the cou
ples ministry of Grace to rec
ognize on Family Sunday a
person or persons who consis
tently contribute to the enrich
ment of congregational Cfife.
Quentin and Miriam Venable
were the honorees this year.
They have been affiliated with
Grace for more than 50 years.
Mr. Venable's affiliation
exceeds 80 years.
Together ifieir demonstra
tion of family life has been
worthy of imitation within the
church family and the larger
community. When they assem
ble for worship on Sundays,
their family cluster often con
sists of several generations.
This is impressive in today's
world where families that wor
ship together are passing ayyay.
The Venables were espe
cially recognized for -con
tributing to congregational
family enrichment through
their annual Mother's Day rit
ual of roses. Mr. Venable is
known as the "Rose Man." He
is a superb gardener of roses.
The beautiful roses for
Grace's Mother's Day ritual
come from his garden and are
prepared for distribution in his
special way. He and Mrs. Ven
able have been about this min
istry of roses for nearly 20
years.
