New Concept In Music Presented
By First Baptist Youth
The Youth Choir of Black
Mountain First Baptist Church
will present “Purpose”, aeon
temporary musical for youth on
Sunday, July 20, at 8:00 p.m.
The presentation will close out
the annual Youth Week obser
vance, when the young people
give leadership to the church
program.
“Purpose” was born out of
the expressed need of youth in
a local church situation to have
some music with which they
could identify, through which
they could express their spiri
tual needs, their Christian wit
ness, and their life committ
ment to Christ. The music is
rhythmical; the text is bib
lically based. It is designed
to speak for and to today’s
youth.
The public is cordially in
vited to hear this presentation
of the choir, under the direc
tion of Mr. Ed Alexander, First
Baptist Minister of Music.
Officers of the lodge include:

In addition to its support of
the Central Orphanage and o
ther organizations working to
improve the American way of
life, the lodge has a very ac
tive program with the younger
men of the area.
Appreciation is expressed to
those of our community who
gave moral and material sup
port in order that this part of
our objective could be reached.
