r Ministers To Ring
Bells For The Needy
Members of the Kings Moun-
tain Ministerial Association will
be ringing bells during the next
three weeks in front of area
shopping centers to solicit funds
for the associations Helping
Hand Fund.
Rev. Fred Wells, pastor of
Midview Baptist Church and
chairman of the bell-ringing pro-
ject this Christmas season, is
hoping to raise at least $3,000 to
provide food for needy families
in the area.
The proceeds will go into the
Helping Hand Fund which pro-
vides emergency assistance to
citizens of the Kings Mountain
School District throughout the
year. The fund is also supported
by United Way and special con-
tributions from churches, civic
clubs and individuals.
In addition to providing food,

ed in front of Harris-Teeter,

“We'd like to encourage the
citizens of the Kings Mountain
area to give to this worthy
cause,” Rev. Wells said. “To be
hungry and have nothing to sup-
ply that need brings misery. I'm

appreciate all the help they can
get and the Ministerial Associa-
tion would like to thank the peo-
ple in advance for their contribu-
tions.”
