Rev. England to go to Henderson; Successor called
Rev. Courtney C. England, pastor of Christian church to be succeeded by Rev. John Messer.
Rev. Courtney C. England, who has for the past three years and eight month been the minister of the First Christian Church of this city will conclude his pastorate here on February 15.
The church has shown some marked increase under the leadership of Rev. England. The Bible School has had its largest average attendance over this period of time than it has ever before known. There have been over a hundred additions to the church since the beginning of his ministry. There has been a considerable increase in the missionary and benevolent giving. The Church is in excellent shape to go on and do a great work.
Brother England has been active in much of the community life. He is a Rotarian, and a Mason, and has always been dependable in the promotion of the civic and moral enterprise of our city.
It is well that we mention that a successor has been called to continue the work of the First Christian Church. Rev. John Messer of Lexington, will serve the Church and the community as the minister of the Christian Church. Rev. Messer will move to Central City in June, at which time he will complete his B.D. Degree from the College of the Bible at Lexington. Until June, Rev. Messer will come to the church over the week ends.
Rev. England will have his last services with the church on the next Lord's day. There will be the Bible School and Worship services in the morning and the evening services, which will conclude his active work with the church. Bro. England invites you to be present in all of these services. You are invited to come and big God Speed to one who has loved the community and has spent himself in service to it.
