• In November, 1983, Rev.
Gene E. Gilmore, pastor of
Temple Chapel Baptist
Church, preached for die
30th anniversary of Dr.
Nelson H. Smith, Jr., pas
tor of New Pilgrim Baptist
Church in Birmingham,
Alabama. -
-Beginning March ll-w
Dr. Smith will preach (hir
ing the Pre-Spring Crusade
at Temple Chapel Baptist
Church, 900 September
- I-aoa.-!
“I’m trying to invite
Charlotte and surround
~ ing communities to hear
this great preacher as be
expounds on God’s Word.
He will be preaching on
Monday night March 11, at
7:30 p.m.," said Gilmore.
Or. Smith and his mem
bership of more than 3,000
is in the process of build
ing an elementary school,
shopping center and Phase
—II of the New Pilgrim—
Towers. His purpose is to
generate funds through the
corporations within the
church and to make jobs
available for his members.
His challenges is to see
New Pilgrim develop her
full potential and aspire for
self-development and inde
pendence.
Rev. Smith looked at the
plight of the elderly and
the handicapped, in a land
of p enty, living in sub
standard housing, unwant
ed, fearful of their lives
and, yes, prisoners n their
homes and said, “this is
not right.”
After many years of
agonizing thoughts, plan
ning, hard work, God's
guiding hand and sustain
ing power, Ground Break
ing Ceremonies for the
New Pilgrim Towers, a
123-unit housing complex
designed for the elderly
1 and handicapped, was held
on September 16,1979, at 4
p.m. On October 30, 1980,
the complex was complet
ed with the first tenants
moving in on November 1,
1980.Truly, this is one of the
highlights of his 30 years of
being in the grips of God at
New Pilgrim.
• At an early age, pastor
Smith, no doubt, said in the
.Pastor of New Pilgrim
words of Harry Beecher,
“There Is not a heart but
has its moments of long
ing, yearning for some
thing better, nobler, holier
than it knows now."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
once said, “Every now and
then a man's mind is
stretched by a new idea
and never shrinks back to
its original proportion.”_
Pastor Smith’s idea has
sought to expose New Pil
grim to the spiritual as well
as the practical side of
Christian living by devel
oping a few of his many
programs, such as Educa
tion and Service - Church - i
sponsored Radio Broadcast, j
tion and Service - Church
Sonsored Radio Broadcast,,
New Pilgrim Day Care
Center, Monthly Brother
hood Breakfast, Educa
tional Foundation, Chris
tian Men’s Service Guild,

Deaf Ministry; Mission -
Church on Wheels, Haitian
Project (to construct a
school in Haiti), and Con
tributions to a Mission
Station in Africa and
Basketball team. Annual
Church Banquet, Annual
Church Picnic, and New

ner.

Protect Your Skin From Winter’s Chill
Your skin needs special
care to keep it looking beauti
ful every season of the year.
And it needs extra pampering
to protect it from winter
weather, especially the ex
tremes you experience as you
move from the cold outside
-into dry, overheated interiors.
These unhealthy contrasts
can result in unpleasant dry
ness and the ashiness caused
by dry cells on darker skin.
Now, more than ever, be sure
you take a few minutes every
morning and night to take
these four simple steps to
lasting good looks.
First, cleanse to remove
makeup, grime, pollution, ex
cess oil. Follow with a toner
to refresh and stimulate your
skin, and to remove the last
traces of dirt and cleanser.
Then, energize. This helps
new cells reach the surface of
your skin faster, helping your
skin to repair itself from the
ravages of winter weather.
Finally, moisturize to protect
your skin from the environ
ment and to replenish your
__skin’s moisture supply.
If your skin dries out in
winter weather, make these
changes in your routine. Try
a creamy rinse-off or tissue
off cleanser instead of soap
and water. Using a toner
is still important. And be
sure to energize with Avon’s
Momentum Cell Energizing
Formula. It’s essential! Lab
oratory tests prove that skin
not only looks younger, it
actually feels and acts younger
in as little as 14 days! Finish
with an even richer day
and night moisturizer than
you use the rest of the year.
To protect the delicate skin
around your eyes, use Nurture
Replenishing Eye Cream from
Avon, both day and night.
Years of research have
gone into developing Avon's
vast skin care line. . . there
are skin care products and
an Avon Regimen designed
especially to meet the needs
of your skin. Remember,
beautiful skin is cared for
skin, and that begins with
you. To learn more, contact
your Avon Representative.
