Mrs. Bell takes up the story
of the church:
“Long Branch Church has
been my dwelling place for 50
years, one of the nicest com-
pliments I ever received was,
“I hadn’t been nowhere but
Long Branch’’ when I thought
about it, it was the truth.
What ever I am it’s because
of the foundation the church
stands on, who is my Saviour
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Through it all, the ups and
downs, my parents taught me
to belive in Jesus.” “I can
remember my first Sunday
School teacher, Mrs.
Elizabeth Tate. She has gone
to be with the Lord now. She
always wanted the class to
memorize Bible verses. That
one that stayed with me was
“Be Ye Kind one to Another.”
“I joined the church when I
was 13 years old and it was
then that I gave my heart to
Jesus. I just wanted to be like
Jesus. I was baptized by Rev.
J.T. Dukes.
