Women, however, squeeze
from the bottom of the tube of

of the tube becomes empty,
they roll that part nearly toward
the top.
There are reasons for this.
One, it says clearly on the tube,
"For best results, squeeze from
the bottom." Women think
reading a tube of toothpaste is
like reading the Bible. If you
don follow the instructions on
the tube, you will go to hell.

Some 60 years ago, at
some cottage prayer meet-
ings, several Christians
began to pray.
The prayer meetings
were held in several homes
on the village here in
Hogansville. During one of
the prayer meetings at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J.L.
(Les) Johnson, the burden for
a church was born in a group
of about I0 people.
That was theg of
Antioch' BapXist Chch
which was constituted on
May 25, 1941 with 58 folks
joining.
THE CHURCH BEGAN
to buy property when Mr. J.L.
Johnson pawned his mule for
$16.00 for the down payment
on $150.00 worth of ground.
Today the church sits on
approximately eight acres of
land with a four-year-old
sanctuary and Sunday School
wing.
This Sunday, August 18,
2002, Antioch Baptist Church
will celebrate her 61st
anniversary. It is indeed a
blessing and a thrill to look
back over the more than half
centutT and see what God has
done for Antioch.
By the wa); every church
member can look back and
see how God has blessed their
church. As I speak with folks
not only from our town, but
also neighboring towns, it is
a common thing to find peo-
ple who have some kind of
roots to Antioch.
This Sunday we want to
invite all our family and
friends to come help us cele-
brate with thanksgiving the
goodness that God has shown
to us.
Sunday will be a great day
and we hope you will come
and be a part.
DURING the morning
service, we look forward to a
special time of singing,
preaching and fellowship.
Immediately following the
morning service, we have
"dinner on the ground" (at
least under the shed behind
the Dolly Building).
