PEIOOOK CHURCH
OF GOD LARGER
Week of Services Will Feature Re-
Opening After Completion of
Extensive Alterations
" ""***'" ijfl!
THE REV. JAY C. FORNCROOK
To-morrow morning the Church of
God at Penbrook will have reopening
services that will be of special interest
because it is the beginning of a series
of meetings throughout the coming
week in recognition of work com
pleted that giv-is the congregation a
larger and more attractive church.
A new addition of twenty-three feet
in length has been added to the audi
torium and about fifteen feet to the
main Sunday school room. A separate
room has been constructed for the
primary department which will com
fortably seat 100 to 125. A restroom
for ladies with children, a tiled bap
tistry and a fine steam heating plant
are the added features that will give
greater comfort and convenience to
the members of this rapidly growing
church. The building has been car
peted throughout. Beautiful dividing
curtains have been provided. A fine
toned piano haa been installed and
other furnishing 3 contributed by the
various classes and individual mem
bers of the church.
Erected in 1900
The original building was erected
during the summer of 1906 and the
church organization perfected that
year by the late Rev. O. E. Houston,
who was then pastor of .the Church of
God at Progress and became the first
pastor of this church. There were
about fifty, charter members and a
Sunday school of a hundred. The
membership has since outgrown the
original building, necessitating this
new addition. The Sunday school
alone has an average attendance of
225.
The Rev. J. C. Forncrook took
charge of the work In November, 1914,
and two weeks ago the congregation
voted unanimously to request his re
turn at the coming church confer
ence. .Before he went to the Pen
brook church the Rev. Mr. Forncrook
was for ten years a pastor In this
city and prior to that was associated
with Findlay College, at Findlav. Ohio.
The elders of the church are Samuel
S. Miller. John W. Hicks. William
Etnoyer and Clavtor, G. Miller, and
Joseph A. Cooper, Harry Bohb. F. L.
Elser and E. J. Muggins are the
deacons.

not to abandon the church.

United Brethren in Christ iongrcga
tion in this city. Reports of the offi

church was had and the members will
be compelled to work hard to get it
