The
Church Altar |

I remember looking at the stained glass window
above when I was just a little girl about 8 years old.
Because of this rendition of the Garden of Gethsemane, to this
day, I keep a print of the Garden of Gethsemane on my office
wall, because it reminds me of just how deep the roots of my
faith run.

The Old Church
Organ
This organ was donated to the
church for historical value, by Mr & Mrs. Wofford G.
Clayton, in honor of his mother and father, Mr. & Mrs. B.
Ryan Clayton. "Aunt Minnie" played the organ for the

Well, now you know a whole lot

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
Everyday it is becoming more and
more evident that the evils of the world are being promoted by the
mass media, in radio, tv, satelllite, and in magazines, books, and
many other publications. The Bible predicted that this would
happen in
the last days before Jesus Christ returns to
earth.
Our Oline Christian magazine is proud to
be a part of GOD'S MEDIA ARMY,
who will help to spread the gospel of Jesus
Christ through the printed word. Our base of operations is in
the SC Lowcountry, Bamberg, SC, but we know that this magazine
will be a shining light, not just to the S.C. Lowcountry, but to all
of SC and far beyond. Through us the LIGHT of Jesus
Christ will be shed abroad in the hearts of all of our readers
across the US and in other countries. Let us never forget that
Jesus is the TRUE LIGHT of the world, so don't be afraid to let your
light shine!
John 8:12: "I am the
light of the world; he that followeth me...shall
have the light of life."
Matthew 5:16: "In
the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see
your good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven."

Family

Mrs.
Doris Bishop, recently deceased, leaving Mt. Pleasant Sunday
School with two of her children, Candace Fralix, on left,
& son Bruce Bishop. Mrs. Doris was known for her
delectable cakes, and visited many sick people in Ehrhardt,
bringing baskets to the sick. She was a wonderful
lady who gave much to her community. The Bishops
are descendants of one of the older church families, the Ben
Bishop family. "Uncle Ben Bishop"
was married to my grandmother's sister, "Aunt Willie"
so they are cousins of mine. Actually in tracing the roots of most of these
families, I have found that almost all of us are kinfolks
somewhere down the line!
