The Ohio Independent Baptist, January 1972

Generation Gap Is Bridged The young people, groLtp of Me– morial Bapti t Church olumbu , 0. , known a the Omegan , furnished and erved a Thank giving banquet for the Willing Worker , a Sunday School cla s which i largely compo ed of the older generation on Friday, Nov. 19th. There were 22 Omegan and 32 Will– ing Worker . The thought and purpo e behind thi project wa to provide fellowship in Chri tian love between the two age group . What age ha to offer in wi - dom and experience, youth ha in energy and enthu iasm and each i important. Even though there was an age span of 50 or 60 years, there was one thing we all, as Chri tian , had in common, that of wanting to please the Lord. Another reason for the project was to let the youth show appreciation a nd thankfulness in a real and tangible way for all the blessings they have received. Most of the time youth is on the receiving end of benefits, and the directors wanted them at least once, to know the joy of giving to the older generation. As always, the ones who gave the more of themselves were the ones who received the greater blessing and many Omegans discovered this for the first time. The Christian love and fellowship were tremendous. Both ages dis– covered they could relate to the other and as they say now-a-days " they turned each other on.·, New Pastor - At Pataskala The Bible Mission Baptist Church of Pataskala , Ohio has called Rev.
