The Ohio Independent Baptist, November 1961

!\o, ember, 1951 The \ Vood Crest Elementary School on E. Livingston Avenue opened up as a meeting place and their first sen"ices ,vere held Oct. 8th with 61 for Sunday school and 44 for " 'orship. They have chosen the name, Pine Hills Baptist Church. It cer- tainly has a promising beginning and should ha, ,e our prayers and financial help also, so they can buy land for a future building. Rev. and Mrs. George Myers also need more sup– port, for their house payments here are higher than in Grove City. They are mission aries under the Fellow– ship of Baptists for Home Missions, and so cont1i butions or support can b e sent t o the Elyria office.
