Walden said he is very impressed with the church’s missions program and reported that the main speaker at the Missions Conference to be held at Wawasee Heights Oct. 21 through 25 will be Dr. Robert Mundy, former pastor at the church. Dr. Mundy now works with Baptist Mid-Missions in the area of faith/promise giving. He added that about 150 people are present at Sunday morning services and that the AWANA youth program is very popular, with close to 100 young people present on Wednesday evenings. AWANA means “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed.” It is a youth program for children, pre-school through junior high age. The pastor said he will be taking post-graduate courses at Grace Seminary as time permits. He added that his favorite sport is backpacking. He backpacked with a Grace Seminary friend last summer in the Bitteroot Mountains on the Montana-Idaho border. He hopes to spend some time with his father on a backpacking trip there next summer.

Fellowship important at Morris Chapel Church
Morris Chapel Methodist Church, at CR 150 N and 575E, northwest of Pierceton, has a congregation to which fellowship is very important. Each month a carry-in family dinner is held at the church, which has a fully modem kitchen facility Member Mary Brown said that when the church was built in 1965 the kitchen was installed complete with triple sinks, sprays and ’ other features to meet health i department standards. At that I time the church sold baked goods I at the county fair, so baking was done in the approved kitchen instead of in member homes. Mrs. Brown said there has been much activity at the church this I summer as the building received a complete new roof to solve some nagging leaking problems. The pastor at Morris Chapel is now Dan Walcott and the Sunday school superintendent is Robert
