Mount Zion Baptist Church To Be Dedicated Sunday With All Day Mother's Day And Memorial Service Sunday, May 8th, will mark a great event in the history of the Mount Zion Baptist Church, the mother church in this community, when the new church building pictured above will be dedicated. We launched our building pro gram under a provision for a be quest left by the late Alexander Putnam, who was a former 'mem ber. In this bequest we received a tract of land containing 107 acres of timber near Dallas, N. C. The proceeds from this land to be ap plied on a new church building. On April 29th, 1945, the church approved the trustee’s sale of the timber from this land for $3,250.00 and on July 11, 1948, sold the land for $1,500.00, giv ing up $4,750.00 from the be quest, this money to be applied on the new church, building. The building was started in August of 1949, and on the sec ond Sunday of May 1950 we moved into the new building which was not completed at the time. The education building was completed in January of 1954 at a cost of around $50,000.00. In October of 1946, Rev. P. A.
