1944: LIBERTY STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST



I REMEMBER WHEN THAT GREAT OLD CHURCH AT LIBERTY STREET AND WESLEY WAS A GREEN AND WHITE WOODEN BUILDING. IN FACT, I WAS A SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENT THERE BACK IN 1947 WHEN MRS. MARGARET ANDERSON WAS ONE OF THE TEACHERS, AND "BROTHER GRAHAM" THE PASTOR. AS I RECALL, THE CONGREGATION WAS NOT ALLOWED TO USE PIANOS, ORGANS OR OTHER MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, ONLY SINGING "A CAPELLO." HOW THAT CONGREGATION HAS GROWN!
TODAY A BEAUTIFUL RED BRICK LIBERTY STREET CHRIST CHURCH IS ON THE VERY SAME PLOT OF LAND, ITS CROSS REACHING TOWARD THE HEAVENS.
